The Field-Book, which is the foundation of this vohimo, 
comprises the boundaries of the okl township of Bergen and of 
the several lots therein patented to individuals, and of the com- 
mon lands allotted and partitioned by the Commission of 1704. It 
is the manuscript record of a survey which, though intricate, is 
accurate, exhaustive, and authoritative ; while the adjudications of 
ownership, as therein contained, have never been questioned. On 
questions of title it has always been held in high estimation, — in 
fact, final and conclusive. From much use, the maps are becom- 
ing somewhat defaced, and the book worn and confused through 
the inaccurate copying, ignorant arrangement, and careless bind- 
ing of several leaves which had become separated from the work. 
Impressed with these facts, the Board of Chosen Freeholders 
decided to do something for the preservation of these important 
documents. After mature reflection, the plan of simple reproduc- 
tion, which at first suggested itself, was abandoned, and the 
following commendable action taken by the Board on the 12th of 
January, 1871 : — 

yfUereai, The greatly increased values of land in tlie County are directing 
closer attention than formerly to titles ; and, 

Wliereas, The Field-Book and Maps made under the direction of the Com- 
mission of 1764 are regarded as quite conclusive upon questions of title up to 
that time, and are, from their great age and continual use, in such a ruinous con- 
dition that this Board should take prompt action for their preservation before it 
is too late ; and. 



Vlll P R K F A C E . 

WJicrenn, It would be of great value to the public generally, and land-owners 
in the County particularly, that the same should be edited and published in 
book form, instead of being copied ; therefore, 

Jti'solvcd, That a committee of three be appointed, with jiower to secure the 
services of some competent person to edit and publish the Field-Book, and 
Maps accompanying the same, in book form. 

The coinmittee, consisting- of Jeremiah B. Cleveland, Henry D. 
Van Nostrand, and John M. Wilson, appointed under these resolu- 
tions, requested the undersigned to undertake the work. This 
request was acceded to, with a fidl appreciation of the magnitude 
of the task, and with the consciousness that, if properly performed, 
the result would be of great utility, though it might not be 
pecuniarily i^rofitable, nor in a general sense popular. 

It cannot be denied that the tenacity with which, until a recent 
period, the descendants of the original owners had retained 
their ancestral acres, has rendered the work easier than it otherwise 
would have been. Nevertheless, the subject has grown much 
beyond what was originally contemplated. New matter has been 
found, unrecorded deeds and unproved wills have been brought 
from their hiding-places, and even a New Field-Book and Maps, 
complete and in good preservation, which, in their quiet sleep in 
the old garret, had outlived the memory of man, are now given to 
the inspection of the curious. Of the great assistance they will 
be to the conveyancer there can be no doubt. 

Much care has been taken to reproduce the text of the Field- 
Book without the slightest variation, even in orthography or punc- 
tuation. The original paging has been preserved in the margin of 
this volume, and all references in the body of the work are to the 
marginal pages. The object, from the beginning, has been to make 
the volume one of acciu-acy and usefulness, rather than of dis- 
play of antiquarian research. The opening chapters give a brief 
history of the titles under the Dutch, the King, and Lords Proprie- 
tors, as well as the disputes concerning the common lands which 
led to the intervention of the Legislatiu-e, and their allotment. 
The gxeater part of the labor performed in the preparation of the 



PREFACE. ix 

work has been expended in notes to the several lots described in 

the FlELD-BOOK. 

Though not within the scojie of the original plan, it has been 
<leemed advisable to insert a chapter on the early acquisition and 
ownership of New Barbadoes I^eck, so far as the same now lies 
within the townships of Harrison and Kearney. 

As, untU a recent period, most of the transfers of lands in the 
old townshij) of Bergen were by devise or descent, the conveyancer 
wdl find the record of Marriages, Births, and Deaths, herein 
for the first time published, of great use in his investigations. It is 
taken from the Eecords of the Old Bergen Eeformed Church, and 
for the most part translated form the Dutch. These records be- 
gin in 1064, and as here published contain the marriages down to 
1830, the births to 1825, and the deaths to 1850. 

The article of Mr. Delos E. Culver on the magnetic needle will 
be useftd to surveyors and interesting to the general reader. In 
connection therewith it maybe weU to insert here what should have 
been inserted in another place :

July 7, 1846. 

In the foot-notes, brief sketches of the patentees have, inmost 
instances, been given. In some cases these sketches have been 
piu-posely omitted for more appropriate insertion in the " History 
of Hudson County," which is now in coiu-se of preparation. In 
these foot-notes to the several patents, allotments, and subdivisions, 
has been concentrated all the information which could be obtained 



X P K K F A C E . 

concerning eadi lot laid down and numbered on the iiuip. For 
this information the records at Albany, Perth Ainboy, Trenton, 
Haekensack, and those in the office of the Clerk of the C'ommon 
Coimcil of New York, have been searched. But few references to 
authorities have been given, for the reason that such references 
would have occupied no inconsiderable portion of the volume. 
Dates have, in nearly all instances, been given; and these, it is 
hoped, wiU be a sufficient guide in the investigations of titles. 

It ought not to be expected, in a work of this character, to find 
an abstract of every title in the Comity. Whoever looks for that 
may as well leave these pages unread, for he will be disappointed. 
Yet there has been gathered here, and so arranged as to bear 
upon each lot, a mass of facts and dates which, it is hoped, will 
make the book a necessity to lawyers and conveyancers, and a 
source of gTatification to land-owners. 

There can hardly be a doubt but that errors of commission and 
omission will be discovered, of which the author hopes to be 
informed. The few typographical errors in the book the reader 
w ill readily detect, and they need not, therefore, be pointed out. 

A number of small maj)S have been prepared, and inserted in 
the text, for the piupose of showing the location or partition of 
lots. More would have been inserted could they have been 
obtained. Considerable trouble was taken to discover Haring's 
Map of the Bayard Commons. Failing in that, it has, with the 
assistance of Eichard D. Dodge, been rexiroduced. The Maps which 
accompany this work have been prepared, with much labor and 
exx^ense, by the firm of Mallory & Miller (Franklin J. Mallory and 
William W. Miller), city surveyors of Jersey City. They are 
intended to be, and, it is believed, are, facsimiles of the origi- 
nals. They will be enduring monuments to the abihty and 
accuracy of those enterprising gentlemen. On the Field Map have 
been traced certain roads, railways, and i)roniinent objects, for the 
purpose of aiding in the location of property. These, with the 
descriptions of lots given in the foot-notes, Avill, it is thought, be 
sufficient for that purpose. 



PREFACE. Xi 

In conclusion, it may be well to remind the critical reader that 
this volume was prepared mostly at night, and its materials 
were gathered in moments taken from the hoiu-s of business. It 
is now twelve months since the work was begim, and the labor 
in its preparation has been to the author a labor of love. 
During this time he has, as it were, lived among the memories 
of a bygone age. The imcouth names of the original settlers have 
become familiar as household words, and their signatures are as 
weU known to him as his own. With this goodly company he must 
now part for a time, committing them, with their honest simplicity, 
and the book mth its imperfections, to the tender mercies of the 
reader, who may be assured, that, if the work meet the approval of 
those whose experience enables them to appreciate the magnitude 
of the undertaking, and whose profession and learning qualify 
them to judge of its merits, the author can hope for no more.

LAND TITLES 



IN 



HUDSON COUNTY. 

NEW JERSEY. 



CHAPTER I. 

UNDER THE DUTCH. 

Between 1G09 and 1G14 this part of the American Continent 
was visited only by occasional traders. On the 27th of March, 
1614, the States-General, in compliance with the wishes of some 
Holland merchants, made an octroy,* giving to those who should 
discover new lands a monopoly of trade with the same for four 
voyages. Immediately some merchants of Amsterdam and Hoorn 
fitted out five ships, three of which came to the Great River of 
the Manhattans, and thence passed through the Sound and along 
the coast as far east as Cape Cod. When the report of these 
voyages was made at home, the merchants interested in the 
vessels obtained from the States-General, October 11, 1G14, a 
monopoly of the trade with '^ New Netherland ■' for four voyages 
within a period of three years, dating from January 1, 1615. 
They assumed the name of " The United New Netherland Com- 
pany." On the expiration of the charter, January 1, 1618, the 
company did not obtain a renewal thereof, but the individual 
members of the company, by special license, continued to control 
the trade of which they previously had the monopoly. 

" The Dutch West India Company " was chartered June 3, 
1621. Its powers of government were vested in five chambers, 
but its general supervision was lodged in nineteen delegates from 
the five chambers known as the '' Assembly of XIX." It was 
not, however, until 1623 that any movement was made looking to 

c- ^ grant.

an active and systematized trade witli this country. In 1()24 Peter 
Minuit came out as Director-General. From this time until 1G29 
the company made no attempt to establish permanent settlements, 
but bent every energy to build up a profitable trade with the natives. 
On June 7, 1629, an earnest effort was put forth to induce persons 
to settle in the country, and measures adopted at the same time to 
secure the advantages of such settlements to the directors of the com- 
pany. The " Assembly of XIX." agreed upon what they called, 

'^ FREEDOMS AND EXEMPTIONS, 

granted by the ' Assembly of XIX.' of the Privileged West 
India Company, to all such as shall plant any colonies in New 
Netherland." 

Among other articles, not necessary to be mentioned here, 
were the following : 

III. — All such shall be acknowledged Patroons of New Netherland who 
shall, within the space of four years next after they have given 
notice to any of the Chambers of the Company here, or to the 
Commander or Council there, undertake to plant a colonie there 
of tifty souls, upwards of fifteen years old ; one-fourth part -within 
one year, and within three years after the sending of the first, mak- 
ing together four years, the remainder, to the full number of fifty 
persons, to be shipped from hence, on pain, in case of wilful neglect, 
of being deprived of the privileges obtained. * * 

V. — The Patroons, by virtue of their power, shall and mrybe permitted, 
at such places as they shall settle their colonies, to extend their limits 
four miles* along the shore, that is, on one side of a navigable river, 
or two miles 6n each side of a river, and so far into the country as 
the situation of the occupiers will permit. * * 

VI. — They shall forever possess and enjoy all the lands lying within the 
aforesaid hmits, together with the fruits, rights, minerals, rivers, and 
fountains thereof; as also the chief command and lower jurisdic- 
tions, fishing, fowling, and grinding, to the exclusion of all others, 
to be holden from the Company as a perpetual inheritance, without 
it ever devolving again to the Company, and in case it should de- 
volve, to be redeemed and repossessed with twenty guilders per 
colony, to be paid to this Company, at the Chamber here, or to their 
Commander there, within a year and six weeks after the same occurs, 
each at the Chamber where he originally sailed from. 

******* 

XXVI. — Whosoever shall settle any colonie out of the limits of the 
Manhattes Island shall be obliged to satisfy the Indians for the land 
they shall settle upon, and they may extend or enlarge the limits of 
their colonies if they settle a proportionate number of colonists 
thereon. 

--■ Equal to sixteen English miles. These ai'ticles may be lound in extenso in 
O'Cal N. N., i. 112.

The directors were not slow, in fact some of them did not 
wait for the ratification of this charter, to secure the advantages 
here held out. Godyn and Bloemmaert took up a large tract 
near Cape Henlopen, also a tract sixteen miles square at Cape 
May. Kiliaen van Rensselaer secured the territory near Fort 
Orange. The Director-General and Council of New Netherland, 
acting for Burgomaster Michael Pauw, Lord of Achtienhoven, 
obtained the following deeds for lands in this county :

LAND TITLES. 

Thus Paiiw became the owner of all the land east of the 
hill and the mill creek, lying- between the kil of Hoboken on 
the north and Communipaw Bay on the south. These bounds are 
sufficiently expressed and are well known. Yet he seems to have 
been the owner of " Gemoenepaen," and it was in his colony. 
By what right, we do not know. There is no record that he 
bought of the Indians any land besides Hoboken, Ahasimus, and 
Aressick ; and yet, for all we know, he may have claimed, without 
extinguishing the Indian title, the whole peninsula down to the 
kills, as he certainly extended his ownership over to Staten 
Island.* His own name was given to his possessions, and the 
district was known as Pavonia. 

The directors who had failed to become patroons and owners 
of large and valuable tracts became jealous of those who had 
been successful, and soon raised dissensions. This caused the 
patroons to share their advantages with others of the directors. 
Pauw alone refused to divide. He held on with great tenacity 
to his valuable territory, yet does not seem to have complied with 
Article III. of the " Freedoms and Exemptions" in its settlement. 
After a prolonged controversy Avith the XIX., he finally trans- 
ferred to the company all of his right and title to Pavonia for 
26,000 florins. This probably took place in 1637, certainly 
before July, 1638.t 

During the next twenty-six years a number of grants of land 
in this county were made, but, in order to preserve a connected 
history of the general title, we will leave the particular grants for 
" Notes to the Field Book." 

Notwithstanding the deeds to Pauw, Gov. Stuyvesant was 
not satisfied that the title of the Dutch to all the land in this 
county, east of the Ilackensack River, was perfect. In order, 
therefore, as well to quiet the minds of the Indians as to secure 
the land not covered by Pauw's deed, he obtained the following 
deed : 

" This day, the date hereunder written, appeared before the Honor- 
able Director-General, Petrus Stuyvesant, and the gentlemen of the 
Council of New Netherlandt, at the Council Chamber, in the Fort 
Amsterdam, in New Netherlandt, Therincques, Wawapehack, Saghkins, 
Kogkhennigh, Bomokan, Memiwokan, Sames, Wewenatokwee, for them-

selves and in the name of Moikopes, Pepoghon, Par.soihciues, and 
others, partners of the hinds hereafter mentioned. Who declare to be 
the right owners of the lands lying on the West side of the North River, 
in New Netherlandt, beginning by the great Rock above Wiehacken, 
and from thence cross through the lands, till above the Islandt Siskakes, 
and from thence along the Channel side till Constable's Hook. And 
from Constable's Hook again, till the aforementioned Rock, above 
Wiehacken, with all the lands, islands, channels, valleys, therein compre- 
hended, in such manner as the aforementioned parcel of lands are sur- 
rounded and encompassed by the North River, the Kill van Koll, and 
the aforesaid direct line from the Rock above Wiehacken, till above Sis- 
kakes, where it is divided by the Channel. Which lands they offer 
absolutely, to sell unto the Director-General and Council, upon which 
the General and Council on the one side, and the aforesaid Indians, for 
themselves and them that are absent, have accorded and agreed in the 
manner following, in the presence of the hereafter mentioned Christian 
and Indian witnesses : The aforesaid Indians do acknowledge to have 
sold, resigned, and transported, as they do, by these presents, all the lands 
heretofore mentioned, to the aforesaid Director-General and Council and 
their successors, for eighty fathom of wampum, twenty fathom of cloth, 
twelve kettles, six guns, two blankets, one double kettle, and one half- 
barrel of strong beer. Which effects they hereby acknowledge to have 
enjoyed and received before the passing and signing of this. 

Wherefore they do declare, for themselves and them which are 
absent, to resign and transport the lands before mentioned, to the above- 
mentioned General and Council, in full, free, and perfect propriety, 
desisting of all actions and claims, which they could or might pretend, 
to the lands before mentioned — the transporters promise now or here- 
after, not to make any pretensions thereon ; but to keep and hold this 
transport firm, sure, and inviolable. Promising also, to the said Director 
and Council, to free and warrant the said lands against all claims any 
other Indians might pretend to, and if it should happen that in future 
times, any of the Dutch, by any Indians, should be damaged on preten- 
sion they were not fully paid for the lands aforesaid, they, the sellers, do

In connection with the above deed it is proper to insert a cer- 
tificate of Governor Stuyvesant and his secretary : 

" We, underwritten, the late Director-General and Council of New 
Netherlandt, hereby certify and declare, that in the year one thousand 
six hundred and sixty-one, by us underwritten, in quality as aforesaid, 
have given and granted to the inhabitants of the village of Bergen, the 
lands, with the meadows thereunto annexed, situate on the West side 
of the North River in Pavonia, in the same manner as the same was by 
us underwritten, purchased of the Indians, and as the same was to us 
delivered, by the said Indians, pursuant to an instrument of sale and 
delivery thereof, being under the date of the 30th of January, A. D. 
one thousand six hundred and fifty-eight ; with this express condition 
and promise, that the aforesaid inhabitants, of the before named village, 
shall not be prejudiced in their outdrift, by means of any private col- 
lective dwellings (saving only the right of the then already cultivated 
farms at Gemoenepan). But that all such who have any lands within 
the district of the before named village, and especially at Pemrepogh, 
and Mingackque, all such owners shall be obliged to remove their dwell- 
ings and place them in the village or town of Bergen, or by or about 
the neighborhood of Gemoenepan before named. Conditioned, how-

the conference held at Easton, October 23, 1758, gave to Governor Bernard two 
deeds, releasing all their rights in and to the soil of New Jersey, for which they 
received £1,000. — Smith's Hist, of JV. J., 479. These deeds were afterwards, at the 
request of Governor Franklin, ratified by the Six Nations at a conference held at 
Fort Stanwix (Rome), October 24, 1768. -Col. Hist, of X. Y.. viii. 112.

ever, that the aforesaid owners, (in case they should desire the same), 
should be permitted to share, and divide with the inhabitants of the 
before named village or town, in the common lands of the said town, 
and in the place and stead of their lands lying at Pemrepogh and Min- 
gack(|uie before named. (And especially that the meadows laying near 
the village or town of Bergen, where the same begins, at the West side 
along Kill van Kol, should be and belong to and for the use of the 
before named inhabitants of Bergen.) 

And further, we the underwritten, certify and declare, that Michael 
Jansen, deceased, (before or about the time that the aforesaid village 
or town was laid out), for himself, as also for and in behalf of his 
brother-in-law, Nicholas Jansen Barker, did, in our presence, renounce 
all the right they had to the pasture ground, laying behind Gemoenepan, 
for a common outdrift and pasture between the aforesaid village or 
town, and the neighborhood of Gemoenepan, before named. 

And lastly, that no more lands were given or granted to Dirck 
Clausen, than Rightpocques, with the meadows thereunto belonging, as 
by the ground-brief thereof may further appear. 

In testimony of the truth, we have signed these with our own hands, 
in New York, the 26th of October, A. D.

By what instrument the lands herein referred to were granted 
to the inhabitants of Bergen we do not know. Such grant is not 
to be found in the Ordinance of September 5, 1661, and it is 
worthy of notice that many grants from the Dutch Government 
to individuals are to be found bearing a later date ; yet the 
Governor must have understood the Ordinance of 1661 to con- 
tain such a grant, or else the grant to which he refers has been 
lost. Whatever the fact about the grant may be, it is quite 
probable that this certificate went far towards satisfying Governor 
Carteret that the freeholders of Bergen were entitled to all the 
unpatented lands. In this light the charter of 1668 was only a 
confirmation of the rights which the ^' Freeholders, Inhabitants of 
Bergen," possessed under the Dutch Government. 

The village of Bergen Avas laid out in 1660. It was laid out 
in a square, surrounded by narrow streets, yet in existence, along 
which were erected the palisades. Within this enclosure all the 
inhabitants in the township were obliged to gather, except such

country.

as collected within the fortifications at Communipaw. The land 
within the town plot was laid out into building plots by Jacques 
Cortelyou, Town Surveyor, and numbered on the map. The 
land surrounding the town was laid out into larger lots, for garden 
or farm purposes, and also numbered on a map. The land out- 
side of the town plot was known as JBiiyten Twjn — i. e., outside 
gardens. It still retains its original name. I have not been able 
to find these maps. The lots within and without the town were 
freely given to those who desired them. Many, it seems, did not 
trouble themselves to have their lands surveyed and staked out, 
or ask for a grant thereof. This made confusion, and caused the 
following Ordinance : 

"All Inhabitants of JVew Netherlands and especially those of the 
Village o{ Bergen, on the West side of the North River; also all others 
who have or claim any Lands thereabout, are Ordered and commanded 
that they, within the space of three months after the date hereof, at 
latest, before the first of January next, shall have all the cultivated and 
uncultivated Lands which they claim, surveyed by the sworn Surveyor, 
and set off and designated by proper marks, and on the exhibition of the 
Return of survey thereof, apply for and obtain a regular Patent as proof 
of property, on pain of being deprived of their right, to the end that thi^ 
Director-General and Council may dispose, as they may deem proper, 
of the remaining Lands which, after the survey, may happen to fall out- 
side of the Patents, for the IccomrnDdation of others. All are hereby 
warned against loss and after complaints. 

"Thus done in Fort Amsterdam in New Netherlands the 15 
September, 1661." * 

A few lots within the town were taken by persons who resided 
in New Amsterdam, and possibly elsewhere. They erected no 
buildings, and of course provided no occupant of their proj)erty. 
Those who resided in the town were forced to contribute to the 
defence thereof, and thus protected the property of non-residents 
while securing their own. They felt this to be an unjust bur- 
den, and their complaints called forth the following Ordinance, 
passed November 15, 1663 : 

" On the repeated complaints of the majority of the Inhabitants of 
the Village oi Bergen ^ that some continue to neglect to occupy the Lots 
they obtained in said Village, and to keep thereon a man fit to bear 
arms; also thit some absent themselves without providing for their 
Watch, whereby the people of said Village are so much fatigued that 
they cannot any longer stand at their posts, and are unwilling to go any

guard one man with them for each Lot ; the Director-General and 
Council, in order to prevent this confusion, resolve that all those who 
claim any Lots in the aforesaid Village shall, within 24 hoUrs after the 
service hereof, furnish and continually maintain for each Lot one man 
able to bear arms, and to keep watch and ward, on pain of having the 
Lots with the Lands thereunto appertaining, as surveyed by the Sur 
veyor, immediately given and granted in propriety to others. Let every 
one be hereby warned for the last time." * 

The Dutch grants were made without pecuniary consideration. 
There were, liowever, conditions annexed to them, a sample of 
which may be found in tlie Note to the Weehawken Patent. 



CHAPTER IL 

TITLE UNDER THE KING AND LORDS PROPRIETORS. 

Notwithstanding the occupancy of the country by the Dutch 
for over half a century, the English had never yielded the claim 
which they based on the fact that Cabot, in the employ of some 
Englishmen, in 1498, sailed along our coast, but whether in sight 
or out of sight they scorned to demonstrate. And with the fact 
before us that this claim was made good by the irresistible logic 
of a successful war, it is not worth while to dispute its validity. 
We will, therefore, proceed to trace the general title from the 
King of Great Britam : t 

On March 12, 16G4, Charles II. granted unto his ''dearest 
brother James, Duke of York, his Heirs and Assigns," inter aliaj 
" all the Lands from the West side of Connecticut, to the East side 
of Delaware Bay," with powers of government.! On the 28d and 
24th of June, 1664, by lease and release, the Duke conveyed 
to John, Lord Berkeley, Baron of Stratton, and one of the Privy 
Council, and Sir George Carteret of Saltrum, Knight, and Member 
of the Privy Council, ''All that Tract of Land adjacent to Netv- 

* N. Y. Col. MSS. X., part ii. 389. 

t I give no attention to the claim of Sir Edmund Ployden to all the lands 
between Long Island Sound and Cape May, who professed to erect it into a free 
county palatine, and called it New Albion. His pretensions never disturbed the 
regular current of title. | Learning & Spicer, 3.

England, and lying and being to the Westward of Long-Island 
and Manhitas Island, and bounded on the East part by the main 
sea, and part by Hudsori's River, and hath upon the West Dela- 
ware Bay or River, and extendeth Southward to the Main Ocean 
as far as Cape May at the Mouth of Delatvare Bay ; and to the 
Northward as far as the Northermost Branch as the said Bay 
or River of Belatvaye, which is forty-one Degrees and forty 
Minutes of Latitude, and crosseth over thence in a straight Line 
to Hudson^ s River in forty-one Degrees of Latitude ; which said 
Tract of Land is hereafter to be called by the Name or Names of 
Nova Ceaserea or Neiv- Jersey ^ * 

The war between England and Holland was followed by the 
Treaty of July 21, 1667 ; but in 1672 it again broke out, and 
the Dutch recaptured the country, August 9, 1673. By the 
Treaty of February 9, 1674, the country was for the second time 
confirmed to the English. t 

While the war was in progress, and on March 18, 1673, Lord 
Berkley sold his interest in the Province to John Fenwick, in 
trust for Edward Billinge, for c£l,000. Billinge had failed in 
business; Berkley was his particular friend, and advised him to 
invest in New Jersey lands for the purpose of retrieving his for- 
tune. He was pleased with the proposition, borrowed the money 
from his friends, and purchased the land in the name of John 
Fenwick, who was to have one-tenth of the same. Fenwick 
managed the purchase so well that, it is said, he would soon have 
stripped the other of all, but means were employed to compel 
him to be satisfied with his tenth.l Billinge assigned his 
interest, less Fenwick's tenth, to William Penn, Gawn Laurie, 
and Nicholas Lucas, February 9 and 10, 1674, in trust for his 
creditors. Fenwick sold his interest to John Eldridge and Edmond 
Warren, who sold to Penn, Laurie, and Lucas. § 

To clear up any shadow which the recent occupation by the 
Dutch might have cast upon former grants, Charles IL made a 
second grant to the Duke, June 29, 1674 .|| This was followed 
by the Duke, July 29, 1674, with a grant to Sir George Carte- 
ret of what was afterwards known as East Jersey. On July 1,

Sir Georo;e received the eastern portion in severalty.* Sir George, 
by will dated December 5, 1678, appointed his wife, Elizabeth, 
sole executrix, and Earl Sandwich, Earl Batli, Lord Grenville, 
Sir Thomas Crew, Sir Robert Atkins, and Edward Atkins, Trus- 
tees, to whom he devised his interest in New Jersey, to be sold 
for the payment of his debts.t On the 5th and 6th of March, 
1680, East Jersey was conveyed to Thomas Cremer and Thomas 
Pocock, but the transfer does not seem to have been completed. 
On the 6th of the following August, the Duke indulged in a 
second grant to Penn and his associates of West Jersey, and 
Gordon says he also gave one to the representatives of Carteret 
on March 14, 1682. This has not been discovered, but the fol- 
lowing warrant therefor exists : 

" These are to direct and require you to prepare for my signature a 
Deed or fitting Instrument (agreeable to yt I have already executed 
unto Edward Billing and others) whereby I may release and confirm 
unto Sir George Carteret, ye heire of Sir George Carteret (lately de-

These Releases were given in consequence of an opinion of 
Sir William Jones, dated July 28, 1680. The Duke's Governor 
of NcAV York had claimed jurisdiction over both of. the Jerseys, 
and insisted on his right, in behalf of the Duke, to collect duties 
upon importations therein. These pretensions were resisted 
with much spirit, until finally the Duke referred the subject 
to Sir William Jones for an opinion. His decision was that 
the Duke could not legally demand any duty from the inhabitants 
of the Jerseys. The Duke gracefully yielded, and gave his third 
and final Release of East Jersey. § 

On the 20th of February, 1681, Earl Sandwich released his 
interest in East Jersey to his associate trustees, and they again 
sought to negotiate a sale of the Province. Failing to find a

piu'chaser at even the sum of five or six thousand pounds, it was 
sold at public sale to William Penn, Robei't West, Thomas Rud- 
yard, Samuel Broome, Thomas Hart, Richard Mew, Ambrose 
Riggs, John Haywood, Hugh Hartshorne, Clement Plumstead, 
and Thomas Cooper, all Quakers. The Lease and Release were 
dated February 1 and 2, 1682, and the consideration was .£3,400. 
To avoid any doubt which might arise by reason of the prior sale 
to Cremer and Pocock, they joined in the conveyance. The asso- 
ciates then — June 1, 1682 — executed a declaration that there 
should be no benefit of survivorship among themselves. They 
held the Province for nearly a year, but they were Quakers, 
and therefore unpopular. To quiet opposition on this ground, 
they severally conveyed, in 1683, an undivided moiety of their 
respective interest to twelve others — viz., Robert Barclay, Edward 
Billinge, Robert Turner, James Braine, Arent Sonmans, William 
Gibson, Gawn Laurie, Thomas Barker, Thomas Warne, James, 
Earl of Perth, Robert Gordon, and John Drummond. These 
associates were afterwards known as the " Twenty-four Pro- 
prietors." On the 14th of March, 16S3, the Duke confirmed the 
sale of the Province to the twenty- four proprietors.* Under all 
of these diiferent owners of the soil of the Province, the rights 
and powers of Government had always attached to the ownership. 
The seat of Government was at Perth Amboy, where it was 
required to record all surveys and transfers of land.t 

Many patents for land in this county, east of the Hackensack, 
had been taken out before the fall of the Dutch power. By the 
third article in the capitulation, " all people were permitted to 
enjoy their lands, houses, and goods, and dispose of them at pleas- 
ure." Under this article they felt secure until the treaty of 
Breda, dated July 25, 1667. Then the freeholders in this covmty 
took out confirmatory grants from the proprietors subject to a quit- 
rent of half-penny per acre. To this burden much of the lands

Avliich, unhappily, seems to be lost. Then, as stated in the text, they were for a 
time recorded in the Secretary's office at Amboy. Then they Avere for a time 
recorded indifferently at Amboy or Hackensack, the county seat ; then exclusively 
at Hackensack, until Hudson County was set off from Bergen, in 1840. It is Avell

but not those of modern date.

in East Jorscy is yet subject, tliou^h years have gone by since its 
collection was enforced. Wiiether it was to avoid the gi-anting of par- 
ticular tracts to individuals, or because the Dutch government had 
already granted to the town and freeholders all of the unappropri- 
ated lands in the old township, we do not know, but it is worthy of 
notice that the proprietors never gave to an individual an original 
patent for land in the township of Bergen. On the 22d of Sep- 
tember, 1667, Philip Carteret and his Council granted to the town 
and freeholders of Bergen as follows : 

** KniptinriB. — The Bounds and Limitts of the aforesaid Towne 
and Corporation of Bergen is to begin at the North end thereof, from a 
place called Mordanis Meadow, lying upon the West side of Hudson's 
river, from thence to run upon a N. W. lyne by a Three rail fence that is 
now standing, to a place called Espatin, and from thence to a little 
Creek surrounding N.N.W. till it comes into Hackinsack river, contain- 
ing in Bredth from the top of the Hill i}4 miles, or 120 chains, from 
thence it runs along the said Hackinsack river upon S.S.W. lyne till it 
comes to the Point or neck of Land that is over against Staten Island 
and Shooter's Island in Arthur Cull Bay, containing in length about 12 
miles, from thence to run Eastward along the River called Kill van Cull, 
that parts Staten Island and the Maine to a point or neck of Land called 
Constable's Point or Constable's Houck, and from thence to run up 
Northward all along the Bay up into Hudson's river till it comes to 
Mordanis Meadow aforesaid ; So that the whole track of upland and 
Meadow property belonging to the Jurisdiction of the said Town and 
Corporation of Bergen, is bounded at the North end by a tract of Land 
belonging to Capt" Nicho. Verlett and Mr. Samuel Edsall. On the 
East side, by Hudson's river, on the South end by the Kill van Cull, that 
parts Staten Island and the Maine, and on the West side by Arthur Cull 
Bay and Hackinsack river, as it is more plainer demonstrated by a 
draught thereof made by the Surveyor-General, hereunto annexed. The

" 2ndly. That all the Freeholders of said Corporation or Towneship 
are hereby jointly and severally obliged to pay or Cause to be paid to the 
said Lords Proprietors, their heirs and Successors, or to their Receivers-

ing to the English Accompt, the sum of Fifteen Pounds Sterling, of good 
and Lawful money of England, or the Value thereof, in good and Cur- 
rent pay of the Country, as a quit-rent due to them for the whole said 
tract of Land above mentioned, in heu of the ^d. Pr. acre mentioned 
in the concessions, which payment is to begin on the 25th day of March,

that all Pattents for land herebefore Granted, or to be Granted within 
the said Limitts, are to be accompted upon the aforesaid Rent of Fifteen 
Pounds Sterling pr annum." 

In the course of time the payment of the reserved quit-rent 
was neglected, and finally refused. Hereupon a controversy arose 
between the proprietors and the freeholders of Bergen. Finally, 
Cornelius van Rypen, a freeholder, in the township, was arrested 
for the debt. A compromise was then agreed upon, and the free- 
holders of Bergen received a general release upon paying $1,500. 
This release was dated October 5, 1809. 



CHAPTER in. 

COMMON LANDS. 



Having thus, in a general way, glanced at the history of the 
title to the patented lands in this county east of the Hackcnsack 
river ; let us now trace the history of the common lands. Car- 
teret's grant calls for 11,520 acres. This, of course, included all 
the lands in the old township of Bergen. It is quite impossible 
to say how much of this had already been appropriated by indi- 
vidual grants, but it must have been about 3,500 acres, as about 
8,000 acres yet lay in common when the Commissioners undertook 
the allotment. The patent lands lay in different parts of the town- 
ship, and generally consisted of small tracts, while the unappro- 
priated lands were used in common. Difficulties, however, soon 
arose concerning these lands. The owners of private grants en- 
croached upon the common domain, while unauthorized persons 
pastiired their cattle thereon and wasted the timber. For this 
there did not seem to be any remedy, owing to defects in their 
charter. Thereupon, the freeholders, in their corporate capacity, 
petitioned Governor Hunter for relief, and in answer to their peti- 
tion, tbey received a new charter, known as Queen Anne's Char- 
ter, January 14, 1714. In this they were empowered ''to Give 
Grant, Bargain, Allott, Lett, Dispose of any of the Land belong- 
ing or appertaining to ye said Community, and as yett unappro- 
priated, either for one, two, or three lives, for term of years or in

fee." While it is not kno^vn tliat any grants were ever made 
under this cliarter, it is well known that it did not accomplish 
what was sought. Encroachments and waste continued as before. 
In 1743, the freeholders quietly attempted to protect the common 
lands by the following :

Warrant, power, or authority for so doing, and without the Consent of 
the major part of the Freeholders of the said Township for that purpose 
first had and obtained, and have used and enjoyed the same with their

said Commons have been taken in by the said Freeholders, nor can the

So far as we can now learn the measures contemplated by this 
agreement were not pursued. Matters growing w-orse, the people 
petitioned the Legislature for relief. This petition resulted in the 
following : 

^It ^Ct appointing Commissioners for finally settling and determin- 
ing the several Rights, Tides & Claims to the Common Lands of the 
Township of Bergen ; and for making a Partition thereof in just & 
equitable Proportions, among them who shall be adjudged by the said 
Commissioners, to be intitled to the same. 

213]li)CtrC*lS sundry Persons claiming to be Inhabitants and Freehold- 
ers within the Township of Bergen aforesaid, by their Petition, presented 
to the General-Assembly of this Colony, do set forth, that Philip Carteret, 
Esq'' Governor of this Colony of Nova Cesarea, or New Jersey, under 
the Right Honorable Lord John Berkley, and Sir George Carteret the 
former Proprietors thereof, by a certain Deed or Instrument in writing 
purporting to be a Charter granted to the Town and Freeholders of 
Bergen, and to the Villages and Plantations thereunto belonging, bear- 
ing Date the twenty-second Day of September in the year of our Lord 
one thousand six hundred and sixty-eight, did therein and thereby with 
the Consent of his Council, grant and declare among other Things 
therein contained, that the Bounds and Limits of the aforesaid Town 
and Corporation of Bergen was and is to begin at the North End of 



LAND TITLES. 19 

Mordani's Meadow, lying upon the West Side of Hudson's River, from 
thence to run upon a Northwest Line by a three Rail Fence that was 
then standing, to a place called Espatin, «&: from thence to a little 
Creek surrounding North North-West till it comes into Hackinsack 
River, containing in Breadth from the Top of the Hill one Mile and a 
Half or one hundred & twenty Chains From thence it runs alongst 
the said Hackinsack River upon a South South- West Line till it comes 
to the Point or Neck of Land that is over against Staten- Island and 
Shooter's Island in Arthur Cull Bay, containing in Length about twelve 
Miles, from thence to run Eastward, along the River called Kill Van 
Cull that parts Staten-Island and the Main, to a Point or Neck of Land 
called Constable's Point or Constable's Hook, and from thence to run up 
Northward all along the Bay up into Hudson's River till it comes to 
Mordani's Meadow aforesaid, so that the whole Tract of Upland and 
Meadow property belonging to the Jurisdiction of the said Town and 
Corporation of Bergen, is bounded at the North End by a Tract of 
Land belonging to Cap'" Nicholas Verlet and Mr. Samuel Edsall, on 
the East Side by Hudsons River, on the South End by the Kill Van Cull 
that parts Staten-Island and the Main, and on the West Side by Arthur 
Cull Bay and Hackinsack River; And did also among other things 
therein mentioned grant and declare that the Freeholders aforesaid, or 
the major Part of them, should have Power to chuse their own Magis- 
trates to be Assistants to the President or Judge of the Court and for 
the ordering all public Aftairs within the said Jurisdiction And that the 
Freeholders aforesaid, or the major Part of them, should have Power to 
admit of their own Inhabitants and to divide all Proportions of Lands 
as are within the Bounds and Limits aforesaid, that were not then al- 
ready appropriated and patented by particular Persons before the Day 
of the Date thereof, according to their Allotments and Estates, as the 
Justices & Magistrates should in their Wisdoms think fit, which Land 
being so divided every Man's Proportion should be surveyed, butted and 
bounded by the Surveyor, and recorded by the Secretary and Recorder 
General of this Colony and after two Years in Possession, should not 
be subject to any Re-Survey or Alteration, but should remain according 
to the first Survey forever, as by the said Charter more fully and at large 
may appear. And the said Petitioners further set forth that altho' cer- 
tain Letters-Patent of her late Majesty Queen Anne, issued under the 
Great Seal of this Colony, bearing Date the fourteenth Day of January 
in the twelfth Year of her Reign, confirming the aforesaid Incorporation 
of the said Township of Bergen ; and altho' the said Letters-Patent were 
confirmed by an Act of the Governor, Council and General Assembly 
of this Colony, passed the twenty-ninth Day of January in the Year of 
our Lord one thousand seven hundred thirteen, intituled an Act for Con- 
firmation of a Patent or Charter granted by His Excellency Robert 
Hunter, Esq"" Captain-General and Governor-in-Chief in and over the 
Provinces of New Jersey and New York, and all the Territories and 
Tracts of Land depending thereon in America, and Vice- Admiral of the 
same for the Incorporation of the Town of Bergen in the Eastern Divi- 
sion of the Province of Nova Cesarea or New Jersey : Yet neither the 
said Letters-Patent nor the said Act do prescribe any Method for the 
Division of the Common Lands of the said Township of Bergen, but 
leave the same subject to such Method as is above mentioned to be pre- 
scribed by the aforesaid Charter of Governor Philip Carteret : And that 



20 l.AM) TITIvKS. 

altho' the Petition of the said Common Lands, is by the aforesaid Char- 
ter of Governor Philip Carteret directed to be made by the said Free- 
holders, in such Manner as the Justices and Magistrates shall think fit, 
yet that elective Magistrates having been a Provision in the Infancy of 
this Colony, and having long since been disused except in some particu- 
lar Incorporations, among which the said Township of Bergen is not 
to be ranked, a Partition of the aforesaid Common Lands in the Manner 
directed by the said Charter, is for that Reason become absolutely im- 
possible ; That besides, the Petitioners are not only at some Variai.ce 
among themselves, as well concerning what particular Tracts of Land 
patented before the Grant of the said Charter, are included within the 
above recited Bounds of the said Township of Bergen, and consequently 
concerning the Persons who may properly be deemed Freeholders of the 
said Township ; And who the Freeholders within the said Township are 
or are not intitled to Shares of the said Common Lands But it is also 
disputed among them in what Proportions the said Common Lands ought 
by Virtue of the said Charter to be divided among those who undoubt- 
edly are Freeholders within the Bounds of the said Township and are 
Intituled to Shares of the said Common Lands, which Reasons together 
with the great Number of the Persons Interested and the Infancy, 
Coverture and Absence beyond Seas of many of them render a Partition 
of the said Common Lands Impracticable by the Course of the Com- 
mon Law and Feasible only by Commissioners to be appointed by Act 
of Legislature as well for settling the several Claims to the Commons as 
the Respective Proportions in which the same ought to be Divided and 
that by Reason of the present Undivided State of the said Commons 
great and Unnecessary Waste is daily Committed by destroying the 
Timber growing on the same. By which means if the same be not pre- 
vented by a Speedy Partition of the said Commons, they w^ill be ren- 
dered of Little Value, and the Township of Bergen be reduced to great 
Distress for want of Timber and Fuel, the Petitioners therefore pray 
Relief in the Premises as by the said Petition may appear. 

iSt It ti)trfforC Cnactetr By his Excellency the Governor, the 
Council and General Assembly of this Colony, And it is hereby Enacted 
by the Authority of the same That Jacob Spicer of Cape May, Charles 
Clinton of Ulster County, William Donnaldson and Azariah Dunham of 
New Brunswick, John Berrien of Rocky Hill, Samuel Willis of Long

The Commissioners appointed hj the foregoing act caused to be 
surveyed every foot of land lying east of the Haekensack in this 
county, and the result is recorded with great care and particular- 
ity in their Field Book and Maps, which were filed, as directed in 
the seventh section of the above act. By an act of the Legisla- 
ture approved March 3, 1848, the Field Book and Maps on file in 
the Clerk's office of Bergen County were required to be filed in the 
office of the Clerk of Hudson County. They were so filed. But 
the copy in the Secretary of State's office being in-better preser- 
vation, and of no particular utility in that place, there Avas a gen- 
eral desire among the people of the county to secure it, whereupon 
by an act of the Legislature, approved March 3, 1853, the Clerk 
of Hudson County returned the one then in his office to the Clerk 
of Bergen County, and received and filed the one then in the 
office of the Secretary of State. 



Note 1. — The reader is indebted to Delos E. Culver, of Jersey 
City, for the following observations on terrestrial magnetism and 
its effect on the magnetic needle. His long experience and well- 
known ability as a practical surveyor and civil engineer make him 
an authority on the subject. He says : 



LAND TITLES. 25 

" Paradoxical as it may appear, many surveyors do not under- 
stand the action of the magnetic current upon the needle, and many 
others but imperfectly. In order to make the needle useful, the 
laws which govern its movements should be known. 

" The magnetic fluid or current sweeps continually from the 
south to the north magnetic pole, sometimes increasing in intensity, 
at others decreasing over the earth and beneath its surface on 
waving meridian lines. The direction of this current at any given 
point is the magnetic meridian. 

" The magnetic poles, however, are constantly moving around 
the true poles, changing the direction of the current, and with it 
the direction of the needle, thus accounting for its secular decli- 
nation. There is also an annular declination of the needle, caused 
by the revolution of the earth upon its axis, which is completed 
every day, and another declination, superimposed upon the others, 
caused apparently by the earth's nearing and receding from the 
sun each year, its maximum effect being exhibited in January 
when the earth is nearest the sun. 

" Of course, so far as land surveying with the needle is concerned, 
the secular declination only need be observed. The following 
extract from the American Encyclopaedia of observations made in 
London and Paris will illustrate this, showing how the north end of 
the needle travelled eastward at London until the year 1657 : 
'' From that time (105 7) the westerly declination began, and con- 
tinued until it began to be thought it would ever move in that 
direction, until it pointed south. In Paris the easterly declination 
did not disappear until 1663, and there also the needle travelled 
westerly until 1814, when it pointed 22^° towards the west. It 
then began to flag, and in 1817 the needle began to return towards 
the north. The same result was not noted in London untfl the 
year 1819, when the needle pointed N., 25*^ W. ;" this time, of 
about 162 years, marking one-half the period of the revolution of 
the magnetic pole around the true pole. There are two lines 
passing over the earth's surface upon its opposite sides, on which 
the needle will point due north and south. Such a line, at the 
present time, passes very near the City of Detroit in Michigan, 
and is steadily moving westward. On the east side of this line 
the variation of the needle is to the west, increasing in amount 
with the distance from it. On the other side of the line of no 
4 



26 LAND TITLES. 

variation the (locHnation of the needle is towards the cast. So, it 
will be seen that at any locality the course of the needle will not 
be exactly the same after the day upon which it is taken until 
about 160 years have passed by. 

" In Hudson County, according to my experience, and from the 
average of many surveys made from the monuments and courses 
laid doAvn on the map and field-book, made by the Commissioners 
in 1764, I determined, to my satisfaction, that here the easterly 
declination of the needle terminated in the year 1810, and that the 
average yearly movement before that time was at the rate of 
3 3-10 minutes per annum. I found exceptional cases where it 
would require as much as 4 minutes per annum correction to make 
the courses agree with the monuments, and others again where 
less than two minutes would do it. But allowance must be made 
for imperfections of instruments, local attraction, errors made in 
observing or recording bearings, etc. 

'' I would advise surveyors and others, where the title of valuable 
land is to pass by description based upon needle courses, to care- 
fully note the date of the survey, and have the same go into the 
instrument conveying the title. The importance of this will at 
once be seen when it is stated that a variation of 3 3-10 minutes 
per year will swing the lines of a piece of land of 100 rods long in 
ten years 16 feet out of its former position unless the proper cor- 
rection for the time since the survey was made, is made. From 
an observation of the position of the North Star, made on the even- 
ing of May 29, 1871, at Jersey City, the declination of the needle 
from the true meridian was shown to be 7'^ 55', the course of a 
true north line being N., 7^ 55', W." 

Note 2. — The land in these grants was measured by the Morgen, 
containing nearly two acres. An explanation of this measure as 
it prevailed in the olden time may be useful for a fuU understand- 
ing of the Dutch Patents. A Ehineland rod was the Dutch measure 
for land. It contains 12 feet and 4f inches, English measure. 
Five of these made a Dutch chain, which consequently contained 
61 feet and llf inches. Twenty-five such rods in length and 
twenty-four in breadth makes a Morgen, which consists of 600 
square Dutch rods. — Moultoii's Hist, of N. Y., i. 334.

the Dutch rod.

As a caution to all who may hereafter be imployed in surveying within 
the Township of Bergen, the Commissioners have thought it necessary to 
Note that they found an attraction more or less in most Parts of the Town- 
ship, and more especially towards the Northern Bounds, where they found 
it in some Places near five Degrees.

THIS IS ONE OF THE FIELD-BOOKS 

Of the General Partition of the Common Lands of the Township 

of Bergen 

Made in pursuance of a Law of the Province of New Jersey in Amer- 
ica pass'd in the fourth Year of the Reign of his present Majesty 
King George the third, entitled 

" ^U :^Ct appointing Commissioners for finally setling and deter- 
mining the several Rights, Titles and Claims to the Common Lands of 
the Township of Bergen, and for making a partition thereof in just and 
equitable Proportions among those who shall be adjudged by the said 
Commissioners to be entitled to the same." 

The General Partition by the said Act directed was performed by 
Six of the Seven Commissioners therein named, to wit, Jacob Spicer, 
Charles Clinton, William Donnaldson, Azariah Dunham, John Berrien 
and Abraham Clark Jun''; Samuel Willis the Seventh Commissioner 
declined and did not attend the Service.* Those Six Commissioners who 

* It is worthy of observation that not one of these commissioners lived in the 
county where the lands to be surveyed lay. Two of them were from Essex County ; 
two from Middlesex ; one from Somerset ; and two, with the surveyor, George Clin- 
ton, Governor of New York during the Revolutionary war, were from the State of 
New York. 

Jacob Spicer, 
The son of Col. Jacob Spicer, was born in Cape May County, in 1716. In 1744 he 
became a member of the General Assembly, which position he held for twenty-one 
years. He married (lst>, Judith, daughter of Humphrey Hughes ; (2) Deborah, 
widow of Christopher Leaming. In 1756 he purchased the interest of the West 
Jersey Society in Cape May County, constituting what has since been known as the 
Vacant Right. He was appointed with Aaron Leaming to revise the laws of the 
State. The result of their labors may be found in "Leaming and Spicer's Collection," 
published without date, " Printed at Philadelphia, by W. Bradford, Printer to 
the King's Most Excellent Majesty for the Province of Neia Jersey." He was a mer- 
chant and surveyor, a man of exemplary habits, and strictly faithful in his business 
relations. He died in 1765, and was buried at Cold Spring. 

Charles Cllnton 
Was born in the County of Longford, Ireland, in 1690 ; died November 19, 1773, in 
the town of New Windsor, then in Ulster, now Orange Co., New York. His grand-

father was an adherent of Charles I., and after the defeat of the Koyalists fled to the 
north of Ireland. His mother was the daughter of a captain in the Parliamentary 
army. He and a number of his Mends chartered a ship and sailed for America, May 
20, 1729. This company in 1731 selected a place for a permanent settlement, and 
called it " Little Britain," in New Windsor. He was a farmer and land surveyor, 
and was appointed Surveyor-General, and Judge of the Common Pleas in Ulster. In 
175G he was appointed lieutenant-colonel in the militia, and served under General 
Bradstreet in the expedition against Fort Frontenac (now Kingston), Canada. His 
sons James (father of DeWitt Clinton) and George accompanied him in this expe- 
dition. Vide Appletoii's Encyclopcedia and Eager' s History of Orange County. 

William Donnaij5Son. 
Concerning William Donnaldson nothing whatever has been learned, except (if he 
was the man) that he kept a tavern, and resided on the road between New Brunswick 
and Princeton, at the junction of the Eocky Hill road. This is ascertained by the 
map of the survey of the county line, made by Az. Dunham. 

Azariah Dunham. 
Col. Azariah Dunham was born in the township of Piscataway, N. J., in the early 
part of the eighteenth century. His family settled in the township as early as 1670. 
He married Mary Ford, of Morristown, and settled at New Brunswick, where be built 
a mansion on what was originally known as Main, then Burnet, and still later as 
Little Burnet or Water street. He was a very prominent man, and enjoyed a large 
share of the public confidence. He was rigidly just, extremely accurate, and highly 
intelligent. At an early day his name often appears in the minutes of the Courts 
of Middlesex County as arbitrator to settle matters in dispute or litigation. He 
was a civil engineer, in which capacity liis services Avere in great demand, both by 
private parties and public bodies. June 20, 17C5, he was appointed by the Legis- 
lature one of the commissioners " to view the grounds and make a straight and 
perfect survey from Bordentown to Kingston, and fi-om Trenton as near as may be, 
through Priuceton, Kingston, New Brunswick, Elizabethtown, and Newark to Second 
Eiver ; also from New Brunswick to Perth Amboy, and from Perth Amboy to

Middlesex to run the division line between Somerset and Middlesex, which had be- 
come " dubious." 1 have seen a copy of the map of this survey comjileted May 9, 
1766. It was accompanied by a field-book ; and the two accurately described the 
line and the public highway from New Brunswick to the Province line, west of 
Princeton. They preserve the names of all the inhabitants living along the roftd, and 
note the exact locality of their farms and houses ; and also exhibit the extent ot 
Princeton and New Brunswick at that day. 

In May, 177.5, he was elected to the General Assembly. In the autumn of that 
year he and other patriotic members of the Assembly absented themselves to meet 
and confer with patriots from the several colonies in the city of New York. Their 
absence was noticed by Governor Wm. Fraaklin, who sent a message to the Assembly 
complaining of it. Accordingly, November 17, 1775, the House passed the following 
resolution : 

" Several members of the House being absent, whereby the Public Business has 
been greatly retarded. Ordered, That the Sergeant at Arms do give Notice forthwith 
to Benjamin Holmes, Robert Friend Price, John Combs, John Wetherill, Azariah 
Dunham, and William Winds, Esquires, to attend their Service here immediately." 

The patriotic members of the Assembly were aware of, and s^'mpathized with the 
causes which led to their absence; and a few days later voted a leave of absence to 
them. 

In 1775-6 Colonel Dunham was a member of the Provincial Congress of this 
State, and by that body was appointed one of the Committee of Safety, which sat, 
with extraordinary powers, during its recess. He was an active member of the Pro- 
vincial Congi'ess, and was on committees to draft various important measures : among 
others, a " resolution respecting apprehending deserters from the Continental troops ;" 
an "ordinance to compel payment of tax of £10,000 in 1775, from such persons as 
have refused to pay the same;" also an " ordinance for emitting £30,000 of credit,'' 

and for the purchase of saltpetre, etc., in 1775. He was one of the Masters to review 
companies raised in the Province in 1775-6; and one of the committee "to adjust 
and settle the accounts of powder furnished to Earl Sterling by Somerset, Brunswick, 
Woodbridge, and Elizabeth" in 1775. In 1776 he was Lieat.-Colonel of the 2d Bat-

talion Middlesex Militia ; but resigned in order to devote himself to the duties of 
" Supeiintendent of Purchaees" for the Province, and of " Commissioner to raise 
troops" — positions to which he had been appointed by the Provincial Congress, and 
which he held until the close of the war. He was appointed one of the signers of the 
Jersey Bills of Credit foi- the Eastern Department of the State. He embarked a 
large part of his ample means in the cause of his country, and died at a ripe old age 
in 1790. 

John Berrien, 

The grandfather of the late John McPherson Berrien, of Georgia, was appointed 
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the Province, February 20, 1764. He 
was a surveyor, as appears by the following sneer of the Tory historian of New York, 
William Smith. Referring to the death of Chief- Justice Morris, he says : " Frank- 
lin has put Charles Read in his place upon the bench, and filled up Read's with one 
John Berrien, a babbling country surveyor, not fit to be a deputy to any sheriff in 
England." — Contributions to East Jersey History, 180. Notwithstanding Smith's 
opinion, there can be no doubt that he was a man of integrity and ability, or the 
Legislature would not have associated him with such high-toned gentlemen as com- 
posed the Commission. He died in the latter part of April, 1772, leaving a widow 
and six children. 

Abraham Clabk 

Was born at Elizabethtown, February 15, 1726. He was the only child of Alder- 
man Thomas Clark. He married Sarah Hetfield in 1743. In early life his particular 
studies were mathematics and law, which fitted him for surveying and giving legal 
advice. He was not by profession a lawyer, but gave advice gratuitously. This 
procured for him the honorable title of the '' poor man's counsellor." His services 
were frequently sought as arbitrator in questions concerning land titles. Under the 
Colonial Goverinnent he was High Sheriff of Essex, and Clerk of the Assembly'. 
At the breaking out of the Revolution he became a member of the Committee of 
Public Safety. He was appointed a Delegate to the Provincial Congress, June 21, 
1776. A few days after his appointment he affixed his name to the Declaration of

Independence. He was elected to the Provincial Congress of New Jersey, November 
30, 1776, and with the exception of 1779, was annually re-elected until 1783. In 
1783 he again had a seat in the National Legislature. In the mean time he was a 
frequent member of the State Legislature. While in this position he became known, 
though unjustly, as the " Father of the Paper Currency." In 1787 he was appointed 
a m amber of the State Convention which ratified the Constitution of the United 
States, but owing to ill health did not take his seat. In 1789 he was appointed 
a Commissioner to settle the accounts of the State with the United States. At the 
next election he was again chosen as representative in Congress, which position 
he held until a short time before his death. He retired from public life on the ad- 
journment of Congress, June 9, 1794. He died in the autumn of 1794 from the 
effects of coup de soleil, and was buried in the churchyard at Rahway. Over his 
grave is the following inscription :

Common Lands. He was born in Ulster Co. (Little Britain), N. Y., July, 26, 1739, 
died at Washington, April 20, 1812. He joined his father in the expedition against 
Fort Frontenac, in tlie French war. He was a lawyer, and was elected to the 
Colonial Assembly in 1768. Here he soon became head of the Whigs. He was elected 
to the Continental Congress in 1775, voted for the Declaration of Independence, was 
appointed Brigadier-General in 1777, and in the same year, at the first election under 
the Constitution of N. Y., was chosen both Governor and Lieutenant-Governor. He 
held tiie office for eighteen years, being chosen at six si;cce«isive elections. He was 
energetic, and rendered his country great service during the revolution. In 1788 he 
was President of the State Convention to consider the Fedei-al Constitution, to the 
adoption of which he was opposed, not deeming it sufficiently decided in favor of the 
sovereignty of each State. In 1792, at Washington's second election. Clinton received 
fifty votes for the Vice-presidency. In 1 601 he was again elected Governor, and in 
1804 Vice-president of the United States. In 1808 lie received six electoral votes for

It is well to note that all confirmations of the Dutch grants were made by Patent 
signed by the Governor and major part of his Council and under the seal of the Prov- 
ince. Preceding such patent, however, was a warrant signed in the same manner, 
directed to the Surveyor General who made his return of the survey. Both survey 
and patent were recorded by the register. This system continued until the surren- 
der, when the governor ceased to be an oflBcer of the proprietors and they no longer 
had control of the great seal. — Xixon's DUjest, 838.

NICHOLAS VARLET. 39 

The Patent of Hobocken, granted by Petrus Stuyvesant to 
Nicholas Varlett Esqr. dated the fifth Day of February one 
thousand six hundred and sixty three and confirm' d by 
Patent from PhiHp Carteret to said Nicholas Varlett dated 
the twelfth Day of May one thousand six hundred sixty 
eight. 

©up cSutbCg whereof shews, and we adjudge it to be a JTvaCt 

which on the Map is mark'd No. 2.* 



■"■ Nicholas Varleth or Varlet, was a man of note. The first his name appears in 
the records of New Netherlands is December 9, 1652. From this time his success was 
remarkable. October 14, 1656, having lost his wife, he married Aima, the sister of 
Governeur Stuyvesant, and widow of Samuel Bayard. April 7, 16.57, he was ap- 
pointed Commissary of Imports and Exports ; April 17, 1657, he was admitted to the 
rights of a small burgher; April 23, 1658, became ''collector," also "Farmer of 
Duties on Exports and Imports to and from New England and Virginia." In the 
same year being " an old and suitable person," he was invested with the " Great 
Burgher Eight," and appointed " Searcher and Inspector," and " Commissary of the 
Company's Stores." February 27, 1660, he was sent with Brian Newton as ambassa- 
dor to Virginia, " to condole the death of Gov. Matthews, to pi-opose a league ofien- 
sive and defensive against the Indians, to conclude a commercial treaty, and to request 
permission to enlist" men for the New Netherlandarmy. — N. Y. Col. MSiS., ix. 101 ; 
was named a commissioner to agree on terms of capitulation, September 6, 1664 ; ap- 
pointed captain of the militia in Bergen, Gamoenepan, Ahasimus, and Hooboocken, 
October 6, 1665; on the same day a member of the court at Bergen, and on the 
first of November following a member of Carteret's Council. These positions he 
continued to hold for several years. He died in the summer of 1675. 

In the patent from Cartaret, this tract is said to contain 276 acres. At what 
time Varlet obtained possession of it is not known, but it was previous to March, 
1656, iV Y. Col. MSS., vi. 347. He received a patent for it, said to contain 138 
morgens, February 5, 1663. 

He left two children, Abraham and Susanna. Abraham, born 1650 ; was Clerk 
in the Office of the Secretary of the Province in 1673, and a commissioner to admin- 
ister the oath of allegiance to the inhabitants of the towns in Achter Col (New 
Jersey) in 1673. He left the Province in 1675 ; entered the Dutch East India 
Company's service, and afterwards died in the city jail at Ceylon. I have heard 
that Prof. Dodd, of Princeton, discovered a deed from him to Samuel Bayard among 
the Bayard papers. Susanna married Jan or Johannis DeForest, June 8, 1673. In 
a controversy which arose between the widow of Varlet and her two children in 1C76, 
Samuel Edsell and Peter Stoutenburgh acted as agents for Abraham, then absent. 
Oloffe Stevenson Van Courtlandt, William Beekman, Francis Eombout, and Gulian 
Ver Planck acted as arbitrators. Their award, dated August 22, 1676, was that 
afler satisfying the four children by her former husband, Samuel Bayard, according 
to the terms of their will out of Varlet's property, the residue should belong to her 
and the two Varlet children. Susanna had four children, viz. : Nicholas, born 
February 4, 1675 ; Susanna, born January 4, 1677 ; Sara, born April 10, 1678 ; and 
Sara, born March 12, 1680. The only one who survived the age of childhood was 
Susanna, who married Robert Hickman. Hickman et ux, sold Hoboken to 
Samuel Bayard for £.500, June 13, 1711 ; deed acknowledged before Judge Pinhorne. 
He left it to his son Stephen, who by his will dated Jan. 31, 1753, proved Feb.

9,1757, gave it to his son William. William Bayard went to the British during 
the Revolution, and it was confiscated to the State. He joined the army ol 
the King, May 1, 1777, as per inquisition made at the house of Stephen Bogert, near 
the Pond Church, Oct. 21, 1779. Thereupon a writ dated Jan. 30, 1784, issued 
out of the Common Pleas of Bergen, directed to Cornelius Haring, Agent of For- 
feited Estates in Bergen County, to sell and dispose of all the land belonging to 
Bayard. He sold the tract in question to John Stevens, Junior, of New York, March 
16, 1784, for £18,330. The deed of Haring to Stevens was dated July 2fi, 1784, and 
conveyed 564 acres. In 1804 the upland was mapped out, and the map entitled, " A 
Map of the New City Hoboken," made by Charles Loss. Stevens bought from John 
Dey 30 acres of meadow, Feb. 4, 1792, and 10 acres June 5, 1795. This was lot 133. 
Vide Note to Van Purmerenfs Patent p. 7. He sold to Samuel Swartwout 327 
acres of meadow, April 15, 1814. This Swartwout mortgaged to John G. Coster, 
Dec. 6, 1827. The mortgage was foreclosed, decree dated July 15, 1840, and 
Robert Van Arsdale, Master's deed, dated Oct. 24, 1840, to John G. Coster, who 
died seized, Aug. 8, 1844. His will dated April 9, 1842, proved in New York Sept. 
6, 1844 ; in Hudson County, March 23, 1849. 

* Gov. Stuyvesant gave to Van Vorst a " lot at Ahasimus S. W. of the wagon 
road," April 5, 1664. — Land Papers (Albany) H. H. 136. This was his home lot, 
and the Patent therefor was destroyed by fire. Carteret's patent adds to the original 
grant, and describes the two lots : 

Lot No 3, lying at Haasemus on the N.E. side of Class Jansen, S.W. of the cart 
way in size 16 rods on the S. E. and N. W. side ; 2i rods 19 feet on the N. E. side ; 
21 rods on the S. W. side. 

Lot No. 6, between Hassemus and Jan de Lacher's Point or Neck, beginning at 
the little Creek, 140 rods to the Creek of the High Woodland, 100 rods in width=25

This propei'ty was inherited by his only son Cornelius. By the will of Cornelius 
3d, dated June 13, 1733, proved Aug. 15, 1753, his son Cornelius 4th, received all 
his real estate. From him it passed to his son Cornelius 5th, known as "Faddy." 
" Faddy" by will dated Sept. 19, 1814, gave to his son John the homestead at Harsi-

Horsimus. 

^Ul* BlU'iJCg whereof shews and we adjudge them to be four 
Ji'lMCtS, first, a House Lot (which on the Map is mark'd No. 4.)* 

* Thip patent€e came from Purmerent, a town about twelve milps from Amster- 
dam. He Avas sometimes called Claas Jansen Van Purmerent. In 1<)38 he leased 
from Planck one morgen of land on Pauliis Hook for a tobacco plantation. He was 
residing there in 1643. He was sometimes known by the name of Jan Pottagie, 

amjlict " Soup Johnny." His first wife was Pietersje, daughter of Brackhoengie, 

by whom he had three children. Tluough his wife he inherited certain lands at 
Gowanus. He was well versed in the Indian language, and therefore able occasion- 
ally to communicate important facts to the Dutch Government. Previous to 16,56 his 
wife died, for on Nov. 11,1656, he married Annetje Van Vorst, daughter of Pauw's 
old "commander," and defendant in the cause cehhre, Cock vs. Van Vorst, New Amst. 
Jicc, i. 123, 148, 449, 4fJ3. He then went to reside in "Ahasymus," and in Oct., 
1664, took the oath of allegiance to the English government. He was elected Schepen 
for "Ahasymus" in the Bergen court, Aug. 31, 1674 ; took an active part with his 
neighbors in annoying the occupants of the Duke's Farm ; was appointed by the Gen- 
eral Assembly of New Jersey in 1682, one of the Surveyors of Highways in Bergen 
County, and is named in the Act, " Clause Jansen Van Sarmarant." — Learning and 
Spicer, 257. 

The Patent describes those lots as follows : 

Lot No. 4, lying N. E. of the house where Jacob Stoffelsen dwelt, S. W. of Ide 
Cornellisen Van Voorst ; in size, 20 rods on S. E. and N. W. sides and 21 rods on 
N. E. side. 

Lot No. 7 was 25x100 rods in garden and orchard. 

Lot Xo. 8 was a farm lot, lying N. E. of the cart way. In size it was 12 3-10 rods 
along the cart way, 19 rods on the E. side, 18 3-10 jods on W. side, and 17 3-10 rods 
on N. W. side. 

Lot Xo. 1.33, lying " between Haassemus and Hoboocken," S. of a small creek, in 
size 30x180 rods=25 morgens ; the four lots containing, as per patent, 45 acres. 

These lots (except No. 133) were taken out of the West India Company's Farm. 
Among the patentee's children were Cornelis, born March 21, 16.59, and Uendrich, bom 
May 10, 1676. Long before his death, he abandoned the name of " Van Purmerent," 
and was known as " Kuyper," probably from his being a cooper. This name his children 
retained until his family became extinct. He died intestate, Nov. 30, 1688, and liis 
property was inherited by his eldest son Cornelius. On June 12. 1714, Jansen 's 
widow (.who signed her name " Annetje Cornelis," though in the body of the deed 
named "Anna Cooper."! and her son Cornelius for £220 sold to her son Hendrick 
along with other lands, vide Xote to Van Ostrum's Patent, p. 63, and Xote to Lot 
240, p. 78, these four tracts, three of wliich, 4, 7 and 8, were then said to contain 25 
acres. Hendrick Kuyper died March 16, 1756. By will dated Sept. 16, 1754, proved 
July 24, 1764, he gave to his only son Hendrick all his lands. His daughters were 
Catherine, wife of Garret Newkirk ; Geertje, wife of John Van Dalson ; Jenneke, 
Marytje, wife of Roelof Van der Linden, and Elizabeth, wife of William Sickles.

Carteret confirmed this patent for "all of a neck of land, heretofore granted unto 
him by the Dutch Governor Kieft, lying and being on the West side of Hudson River, 
and called by the Dutch Powlus Houck, separated from Aharsirausby a small creek 
to have and to hold the said neck of land and meadow," &c., «Sz;c., " as of the manner 
of East Greenwich in free and common socage." The patentee married Maria Koss, 
widow, daughter of Guleyn Vigne. His children were Abir/ail^ wife of Adrian Van 
Laer, Gehyn, Catelyn, wife of David Pietersen Schuyler, Isaac, Susanna, wife of Marten 
Ya,nVf&Qvi, Jacomyntje, Ariantje, Hillegond and Isaac. Planck died about 1680. The 
Hook remained in the possession of his family until 4ug. 2, 1699, when John Abeel, 
Attorney in fact of Planck's heirs, conveyed it to Cornelius Van Vorst. This deed is 
now in the possession of John Van Vorst. It has never been recorded. It was proved 
before Rynier Van Giesen, " one of his Majesties Judges," May 30, 1754. It was signed 
in presence of Brandt Schuyler and William Huddleston. The place remained in pos- 
session of the Van Vorst family until Maich 26, 1804. Tide Note to Tan Vorst' s Patent, 
p. 6. Then Cornelius Van Vorst sold it to Anthony Dey for an annuity of " Six thou- 
sand Spanish milled Dollars." This annuity was given in his will to his son John, who 
assigned it to Richard Varick, March 12, 1824. By him it was assigned to the Associates 
Nov. 18, 1830. Dey conveyed the tract to Abraham Varick, April 18, 1804 ; and he to 
Richard Varick, Jacob Radcliff and Anthony Day, April 20, 1804. They mapped 
out the place and entitled the Map "A Map of that part of the town of Jersey com- 
monly called Powles Hook." " The Associates of the Jersey Company" were incor- 
porated Nov. 10, 1804. To this body Varick, Radcliff and Dey conveyed the Hook, 
Feb. 1, 1805. From this company comes the title to the lots in old Jersey City. 
They were at first sold subject to a quit-rent. Only a few lots remain subject to 
this rent, the title to most of them having been perfected by payment of a sum in gross.

sult on Indian affairs, New Neth. Register, 15. In 1656 he hired the Company's Bou- 
werie at Ahassiinus, where he continued to reside until his death in 1677. In 1639 he 
married the widow of Cornelis Van Voorst, and in 1657, being a widower, married 
Tryntje, the widow of Jacob Walingen VanHoorn, Val. Man. 1861, 648, by whom he 
liad two children, viz., Stoffel and Jacobus. — Ibid. 1863, 813. In the same year he 
was admitted to the rights of a Small Burgher, New Neth. Register, 183. He was an 
uneducated man, but greatly respected, and ofconsiderable influence with the Indians. 
This tract was taken out of the West India Company's Farm. It was irregular 
in shape, but this diagram will show its location. 
The lines between Hiram Gilbert, its then owner, and 
Cole's estate were straightened, Aug. 26, 1838, by an 
exchange of property. 

It was laid out, Sept. 20, 1677, and confirmed Nov. 
10, 1677, to Casper Steinmets in right of Trintje Wal- 
^ngs, his lately deceased wife, formerly widow of Jacob 
Stoffelsen, as land for a garden and orchard at Horse- 
mus, in length 15 chains, v^'dth in the middle 5 
chains, at the ends 4 chains, bounded N. by a rail 
fence, E. by Van Vorst and Van Purmerent, S. & W. 
by the West India Company's Farm, " now belonging 
to the Lords Proprietors ''=6 acres. 

At an early date Mattys De • Mott became the 
owner, and by will, dated Dec. 13, 1755, proved June 
8, 1756, gave it to his sons Michael and Joris, who 
held as joint tenants. Michael married Claesje Winne, but died Nov. 16, 1799, intes- 
tate, and without issue. His widow, by will dated the May 17, 1787, proved Jan. 
27, 1789, gave to the children of her brother John Winne one-half of her property, 
and the other half to the children of her brother Levinus. What realty passed by 
her will I do not know. George died Sept. 9, 1800, unmarried. By will dated April 
5, 1794, codicil Aug. 26, 1800, proved Oct. 9, 1804, he gave to Michael, son of his 
brother Hendrick of Pompton, all his real estate in the Township of Bergen. 

This devisee died seized. May 27, 1832. By will dated May 10, 1831, proved May 
19, 184.5, he gave this tract to his children. Garret, George, Jane the wife of Peter 
Merselis, Margaret the wife of Richard Vreeland, Maria the wife of James Cadmus, 
Catherine the wife of Richard Cadmus, and Henry (dead before his father, leaving 
two sons, Henry B. and Michael H., and three daughters). These heirs and devisees 
by five several deeds in 1835, conveyed the same to Hiram Gilbert, Cyrus S. Browning, 
and Caleb E. Draper. By several deeds in 1838 the title passed to Gilbert, who 
mapped it out. Vide Note to Harmensen's Patent, p. 50. Note to Post's Fatent, p. 23.

" ''A lot of Meadow N. of the upland Hahasetnes, butting on the W. sideof Com- 
niiinipaw Creek, N. and E. side by a small creek, =4 morgens, 288 rods." Tliis was 
Governor Stuyvesant. The tract lies S. of Newark avenue, at the foot of the 
hill, and N. of the Point of Rocks. The title seems to have descended until we 
find it in Peter Stuyvesant in 1764. He died Aug. 10, 1770. By will dated July 
7, 1767, proved Sept. 2d, 1770, he gave all his realty to his son Peter, whose 
will was dated Nov. 20, 1821 ; proved Jan. 9, 1822. It is probable that he disposed 
of it during his lifetime. Vide Note to Varlet's Patent, p. 62. 

Was this an original patent, or had the governor some private claim to it pre- 
vious to the surrender? Again, have these Stuyvesants been recognized as among 
the governor's descendants? I think not. Whs, then, was the Pe^rits .S'h(7/resaw< of 
1764, and how came he by the land as well as the name ? 

t This patentee was born in 1619. He came hither a soldier in the service of the

Its N. extremity was " where the Mill of Hossemus stands," afterwards known as 
"Prioi-'s Mill;" and the house lot refei-red to was S. of Communipaw avenue and 
fronting the river. It was afterwards owned by the Brinkerhofl's. Vide Hartnians 
lat Patent, p. 11. This is a part of the tract given to Jan Evertse Bout by the 
Dutch West India Company, and by him sold to the patentee prior to 1657 ; for on

wife, " to teach her reading «fe writing, sewing «& some trade & give her 200 florins out 
of her mother's estate." Cos paid to Bout 1,444 guilders for the tract. By a survey made 
by James Alexender, Feb. 15, 1723, the " black oak burnt stump" was found to 
be 26 rods beyond the 200 rods named in the patent. In this survey the place is 
called " Pannonia alias Communipan." Cos's second wife was Grietje Maes, widow 
of Claas Teunissen, whom he married Dec. 31, 1656. By her he had no chil- 
dren, and at his death his property went to Maritje, his only child by his first wife, 
Neeltje Engels. ^«?n<y'c married Gerbrand Claesen, the founder of the Garrabrants

Cornelius and Myndert ; Coinelius taking all east of a line not far from Pine street, 
and Myndert all lying west of that line. We will first trace the share of Cornelius. 

Cornelius, by will dated Feb. 13, 1767, proved March 4, 1774, gave all his lands 
to his son Cornelius, who, by will dated April 16, 1814, gave this tract to liis sons 
Cornelius and Peter. Cornelius took the N. part, bounded S. by the narrow meadow 
extending from the present engine-house of the Central Railroad Company, W. to 
about Pine street. Peter took that part lying between saiJ meadow and Communi-

Peter sold llj acres to Garret Van Home, March 20, 1822, bounded N.W. by 
Myndert Garrabrants, N.E. and S.E. by Cornelius Garrabrants, S.W. by Communi-

Van Home died intestate, and the lot was partitioned among his children, viz. : 
Margaret, Hartman V. and Garret, Aug. 14, 1348, and in 1856 sold to William 
Keenney and John R. Halladay. The balance of Peter's lands (except the house lot 
on the shore) he sold to his brother Cornelius and John Van Home, June 8, 1821. 
These grantees resold to Peter. He sold 16 76-100 acres lying N. of Communipaw

the Mill Road and Brinkerhoff's land, and N. of Communipaw avenue. This deed 
was dated June 10, 1805. The grantees partitioned; Van Home getting that portion 
lying between Van Home street and the lane leading to the zinc works, and Vreeland 
all between that lane and the old mill road and Brinkerhoff's land. The deed of 
June 10, 1805, extended the boundaries N. of Communipaw avenue, a sufficient dis- 
tance to include 30 acres. On a division of the lands between John G. and Myn-

deed was a clause that the grantee should not alienate without giving the grantor the 
preference of i-epurchasing. De Backer sold the whole tract to Hendiick George, 
May 30, 1677. My opinion is that the grantee was none other than Hendrick Joris

son of his brother Hartman, the lots in question ; also a wood lot at Slonga, the Cedar 
Swamp and meadow at Secaucus ; land and meadow near Brown's Ferry ; a lot of

(which on the Map is mark'd No. 14.)* 

This diagram will show the divi- 
sion and what was sold of Lots No. 
12 and 13. Henry sold his share of 
the " bush lot " to David B. Wake- 
man May 1, 1852. The division 
among the brothers being imperfect? 
a decree in chancery was obtained in 
1852, confirming tlie same. Aaron 
Tuers owned a house lot in the S. 
side of Cornelius' share. Cornelius 
died seized and intestate June 13, 
185L His executors sold 6 92-100 
acres out of the N. side of his share W. of Palisade Ave. (marked A) to Bernhard 
Vetterlein. This sale was confirmed by the Orphan's Court, Oct. Term, 1857. The 
residue vvas divided between his two children Cornelius and Eleanor C. (now wife of 
Wm. H. Speer). Cornelius took Nos. 2, 3, 6, 8, 9. Eleanor C. took Nos. 1, 4, 5, 7, 
11. 

This partition was made in 1857, by commissioners, report confirmed Oct. Term, 
1857. 

Out of the N. W. corner of the tract adjoining the school lot Henry Brinkerhoff 
sold to Casparus Prior, June 29, 1829, 4 32-100 acres. This on a partition of his 
estate fell to his gi-andson Michael, who sold to Jacob M. Merselis. Vide Note to 
VarMs Patent, p. 62. About the same date he sold the front along Bergen Ave. to 
other parties. These sales included all the land between Bergen and Monticello Aves.

Cors's Patent; ; which Stone stands .in the Middle of a Road and is 
ninety seven Links from the south Corner of Myndert Garabrants's 

Bout's title came by the following Patent. I give a tianslation ; the original is in 
the possession of John C. Van. Home: 

" We AVilliiun Kieft, Governor General and Council under the High and Mighty 
Lords, States General of the United Netherlands, His Highness of Orange and the 
Honble. the Directors of the authorized West India Company, residing in New 
Netherlands, make known and declare that on this day liere underwritten, we have 
gi/en and granted Jan. Everse Bout, a piece of land lying on the North Kiver west- 
ward from Fort Amsterdam, before these, pastured and tilled by Jan Everee, named 
Ganioenepaen and Jan de Lacher's Houck, with the meadows as the same lay within 
the post and rail fence, containing eighty-four morgens. 

In testimony whereof is these by us signed and with our Seal ccnfiimed in Fort 
Amsterdam in New Netherlands, the which laud Jan Everse took possession ot in 
Anno 1638, and began then to plow and sow it. 

WILLEM KIEFT, 
By Order of the Honble. Gov'r Genl 
[L. S.] and Council of New Netherland. 

CoKNELis Van Tienhoven, Sec'y." 
No date appears in the deed, but it must have been given about 1641. It was a 
free gift to him from the Company. Jansen bought about 1647, and paid for his pur- 
chase in installments. He and Bout agreed concerning the balance due, June 9, lt55, 
and it was not until the whole consideration was paid that he received his deed. The 
tract lay S. of Communipaw Ave. and extended to the creek which yet empties into 
the bay on the S. side of the Abattoir. The Patent called for 107 acres. The patentee 
died seized Oct. 17, 1697. 

By will she left all ofher lands to her children, Elias, Enoch. Johannis, Hartman, 
Cornelis, Jannetjc, and Pryntje. These partitioned, June 26, 1701, but owing to the 
uncertainties of the boundaries it is impossible to give the location of the several 
allotments. 

Enoch Vreeland, son of the above-named Enoch, sold, May 7j 171U, to Rutgert 
Van Home, then living at Pembrepogh, a lot at Communipaw, but where located, or 
of what size, is not stated. But it seems to have been the allotment of Enoch in the 
general partition, and by him sold to his son. The consideration in the deed of 
Enoch to Van Home was one pepper corn, when demanded by his father Enoch 
Michielse of Pembrepogh. Jannetje married Dirck Teunissen Van Vechten. Her 
son Michael sold to Rutgert Van Home (then living at Communipaw) April 14, 1715, 
the portion which in the division fell to his mother. It is described as " extending up 
to the Brook commonly called the Oif-fall, then through tlie meadow along said Brook 
to Grawss Point." This I take to be the tract on which John G. Van Home re- 
cently lived. 

Elias died seized of his lot obtained in the general partition. The children, 
Michael, Jacob, Fitje, wife of John Thomas, of Elizabethtown,and Bachcl, sold the same, 
together with a house lot and other lands, to Lawrence Van Galen, June 24, 1707. 
The deed limited the fee to the grantee, his wife, and the heirs of their bodies. He 
sold the same to Rutgert Van Home, March 24, 1710. His childi-en, Catherine wife 
of Loof borrow, and Margaret wife of Thomas Hadden, quit-claimed their in- 
terest therein to George Ross, of Elizabethtown, and Isaac Ogden, of Newark, Feb.

Pryntje married Andries Claesen, and had three sons, Michael, Abraham, and 
Claas, who inherited their mother's share in the partition. Michael and Abraham 
sold their interest therein to Claas, who sold to Rutgert Van Home, Aug. 29, 1721, 
the " House, home lot and garden on the W. side of the road," also land and meadow, 
" beginning at the road on the N. W. bounds of Cornelis Michielse, and so along said 
bounds to the great Creek, then along said Creek to stones laid by .said Claas and 
Cornelius Hendricksen Van Blinkei-hofl", so along said Stones to the road, then along 
said road to the Beginning." 

These several deeds seem to me to vest in Rutgert Van Home title to all the 
land S. of Communipaw AVe., from BrinkerhofF's line on the E., to the Off-fall 
brook on the W. By Van Home's Avill, dated June 6, 1740, proved June 8, 1741, he 
gave to his only son John all his lands at Communipaw. John, by his will dated Dec. 6, 
1757, proved Dec. 29, 1757, gave to his son John the same lands. This devisee, by will 
dated Sept. 22, 1786, proved Jan. 23,1787, gave the same to his two sons, John and Gar- 
ret, except the dwelling-house which he gave to his son John. Garret died seized April 
7, 1808, leaving his property to his two children, John G. and Myndert. These two 
and their uncle John partitioned Dec. 13, 1827, they taking the land lying adjoining 
the Off-fall, and he the land lying between their tract and Washington Ave., and 
what lay in the rear of Brinkerhoff's land. In a partition between John G. and 
Myndert, April 14, 1838, John G. received most of the land left to them by their 
father lying in this Patent adjoining Communipaw Ave., and Myndert a lot S. of 
John G. John (the uncle) died Aug. 29, 1843. By will dated Aug. 12, 1843, he gave 
his property to his son John, and grandchildren, Agnes wife of Garret Van Home, 
and Jane wife of Peter V. B. Vreeland, children of his son Peter. John took the 
land lying east of John G. Van Home, and extending from Communipaw Ave. S. 
Jane took what lay S. of John and W. of Washington Ave. Agnes took what 
lay S. of Brinkerhoff and E. of Washington Ave. Jane died seized in 1871. Agnes 
sold to James Stevens, William W. Edwards, and Andrew McKnight. 

Lawrence Van Galen sold to Cornelius Blinckerhofe, May 22, 1710, a house lot 
on the S. W. corner of Communipaw Ave. and the Bay. It remained in the family 
until Jan. 5, 1831, when Henry sold it to Nicholas J. Prior. The Brinkerhoff lot 
was bought at an early date. It was sold by Hendrick to his son Cornelius, Feb. 24, 
1708, and was then bounded N. by the "wagon or cartway of Gemonipa, E. and W. 
by Fitje Hartmans, and S. by the creek "behind the Swan's Point." Cornelius, by 
his will dated Sept. 22, 1755, gave this lot to his son Hendrick, who devised it to his 
nephew Hendrick, who devised it to his grandson Henry, who died seized, leaving 
one son. Garret. Fide Note to De Backers Patent, p. 10. 

Paul Douwesse sold to Rutgert Van Home, May 18, 1702, a lot on the shore= 
15 morgens, S. W. of Cornelius Vreeland. Michael Vreeland, of Stony Point, sold 
to Johannis Vreeland, of Communipaw, July 1, 1771, in exchange for land on " Rack- 
pogas," the land in the rear of the house lots from the avenue down to the creek, as 
per deed of June 26, 1701. Of this Johannis died seized and intestate. It was inherited 
by his on]y child Antje, wife of Johannis Van Wagenen, of Teaneck, who sold 12f acres

land bought by the New Jersey Stock Yard and Market Company of Jacob Van Home 
in 1866. Abraham Sickles (wlio married an Outwater) sold to Peter Garrabrants, May 
1, 1811, 3 4-100 acres in the rear of theCommunipaw lots, being one-half of what was 
allotted to the heirs of Guilliam Outwater. The heirs of Lozier sold to John Van Home 
6 35-100 acres W. of Brinkerhoff 's lot, E. of Outwater, and S. of Communipaw Ave., 
April 28, 1817, and to Garret M. Vreeland 5i acres and 28 perches of meadow S. W. 
of Van Home and Brinkerhoff, April 2, 1817. 

The village of Commu- 
nipaw— older than Bergen 
— lies within this Patent. 
A number of small lots on 
the shore were sold to 
different persons, who 
here huddled within the 
stockades for protection. 
Among these early own- 
ers was Dirk Claesen, 
the owner of Raccocus 
and Cavan Point. In 
the division of his prop- 
erty this house lot fell to 
his son-in-law, Hartman 
Michielse Vreeland, who 
left it to his sou Michael, 
who left it to his son 
Claas, who left it to his grandsons Xirholas and Garret. Garret took the S. W. 
half and sold to David Bush, May 15, 1820, and Nicholas took the N. E. half and 
sold to Daniel Welsh, Nov. 16, 1822. Vide Note to Claasen's 1st Patent, p. 12, It 
was a double house, and Bush took down his part. The part owned by Welsh is yet 
standing and inhabited.

. Lawrence Van Galen, who married Fitje Vreeland, grand- 
i daughter of the patentee, inherited a part of the tract. His 
children, CtoAeriwe, wife of Loofborrow, and Margaret, wid- 
ow of Thomas Hadden, with one Ebenezer Foster, vide Note 
to Hartman's 1st Patent, p. 11, sold to Joseph Waldron Nov. 7, 
17t)l, a lot in the N. W. corner of the Patent, said to contain 
4 192-1000 acres. Waldron owned lot A, B, C, D, and E, which 
was more land than called for in Van Galen's deed. It is prob- 
able that Waldron sold A. B. to John Kelly prior to 1800. 
Kelly sold A to Walter Clendenny, June 10, 1801, and B to 
John Kelly, Jr., July 20, 1815. A part of this, Kelly, Jr., sold 
to Benjamin F. Welsh, June 10, 1819, who sold to Stephen 
Garretson, Aug. 16, 1849. Waldron sold C to Cornelius Gar- 
rabrant. May 23,1769, who, by will dated April 16, 1814, proved 
July 30, 1814, gave it to his sons, Cornelius and Peter. It contained 2i acres. Peter sold 
to Daniel Vreeland, May 28, 1817. Cornelius did not convey, but his only child, Jane, 
widow of Cornelius Van Horne,released to Andrew Clerk, June 9,1851. Waldi-on sold D 
=li acres, to Daniel Sickles, June 28, 1766 (deed unrecorded). Sickles died Oct.23,1813. 
By his will, dated March 6, 1798 (unproved), he gave his property to the children of 
his only child, Geertje, wife of Michael Vreeland, viz : Nicholas, Garret, Catherine, 
wife of Henry Van Home, Ann, wife of Jacob D. Van Winkle (who sold to Daniel 
Vreeland, June 16, 1715>, Abraham, and Cornelius (who sold to Daniel Vreeland, 
Jan. 1, 1851). It is probable that Waldron sold E to Capt. Thomas Brown, as it was 
at one time in possession of his widow, who sold to Samuel Ten Eyck Gautier, Jan. 
6, 1818. A colored servant of the Captain, known as Jack (John) Brown, received 
it as a gift from Samuel T. Gautier, Dec. 13, 1828. 

Michael Hartman Vreeland, grandson of the patentee, owned part of this tract in 
1764. His will was dated March 19, 1762, proved Feb. 4, 1768. While there is not 
in it any particular devise of his interest in this lot to his son Claas, yet it is certain 
that Claas claimed and was in possession of F, O, P, Q, R, S, T. By his will dated 
July 23, 1801, proved May 21, 1803, he gave F to his grandson Daniel, who sold to 
Stephen Garretson, Oct. 22, 1844. To his grandsons Garret and Nicholas, he gave 
P, Q, R, S, T. They partitioned, June 1, 1332 ; Garret taking P, R, T, and Nicho- 
las taking Q, S. 

Michael Cornelise Vreeland sold M to John Vreeland (son of Helmus), June 8, 
1776. (He and John held a release for this from Michael Vreeland, of Aquacknonck, 
dated June 25, 1737). It is probable that John Vreeland sold it to James Collerd. 

John Van Home sold G, H, I, K to Joseph Waldron, Nov. 1, 1803. What in- 
terest Peter Stuy vesant had therein I do not know, but whatever it was he quit-claimed 
it to Waldron, Oct. 31, 1803. Waldron sold C to John E. Post, May 11, 1813. 

James Collerd died seized, Aug. 11, 1791. By will dated Nov. 27, 1790, proved 
Dec. 6, 1791, he gave all his realty to his son John, who sold L to Post, April 4, 1776

in the service of the company, and the old occupant of Jan de Lacher's Houck, May 
10, 1647. Land Papers (Albany) G. G. 16. It was then known by the Indian 
name Apopcalyck, and " extended from Dirck the paver's Kil to Gemoenepaen or 
Jan Evertz Kil." It is probable that Claasen purchased it from Woutersen. In Car- 
teret's Patent it is called Kewan, and its boundaries begin at the mouth of Sycan's 
Creek, which was the probable intention in Kieft's Patent. It included all the upland 
and meadow S. of Communipaw Creek and E. of Sycan's Creek=141 acres. The 
N. part was known as Reckpokus (now Raccocus) and the S. part as Kewan (now 
Cavan Point). 

Claasen's full name was Dirck Claasen Braecke. He had three daughters, viz : 
Maritje, who married Hartman Michielse Vreeland, Claesje, who married Johannis 
Michielse Vreeland, and Metje, who married Cornells Michielse Vreeland. Dirck 
Claasen died seized, March 26, 1693. His daughters inherited his property, and 
with their consent the same Avas divided among their husbands, Sept. 1, 1696, as 
follows : 

Hartman received the part beginning in the ''meadow in the byte by a poynt

lands he conveyed to Mandet Van Home June 25, 1858, in trust to be divided in 
accordance with his will previously executed. He executed another will Oct. 8, 
1860. Controversies ai'ose among his heirs after his death, and compromise was 
effected March 27, 1866. 

Johannis received b}' the following description : The N. side is divided from the

which Garret R. Vreeland now lives, where the Central R R. crosses the Morris 
Canal. The tract was inherited by Cornelius's son Michael, who owned it in 1764. 
From him it went to his younger son Johannis. He by deed, Dec. 18, 1795, gave to 
his son Michael the west half of his farm = 40 acres, and on April 25, 1820, gave

of John M . lay between Myrtle Ave. on the N. and " the brook of Enoch Michielse's

* Seickan or Sycan was a soldier in the service of the company, and for insolence

a farmer, and lived in N. Y. in 1C64 ; was admitted to the rights of a small burgher, 
April 26, 1657. 

This lot consisted of two tracts; 1st, beginning at a creek coming out ot the

this tract previous to 1643. He probably had his house on the bluff by the Central 
R. E. bridge, from which point he could see the field of the Communipaw massacre, 
■where he was slain in February of that year. After his death the land probably re- 
verted to the Dutch West India Compan3^ It was given by Gov. Stuyvesant to 
Diick Sycan, June 16, 1654. He sold it to Enoch Micbielse Vreeland, Feb. 13, 1679,

of Dirck Straatmaker, for on March 18, 1()98, Vr-eeland obtained from Jan Dircksen 
Straatmaker, the son of Dirck, a quit-claim of all bis iirterest in the tract, for £20.

1731. George's will, dated May 4, 1793, proved Aug. 14, 179'), he gave to liis son 
John the S. W. half of the tract = 149 acres 3 roods 33 perches, which John after- 
wards by will gave to his nephew. Col. Jacob, son of Garret, by whom it was in part 
sold to the New York Bay Cemetery Company. He also conveyed the old homestead 
E. of the Canal to B3njaraln H. Broomhed, April 16,1849. After several transfers 
the same came to Geo. W. Howe, by four deeds, in Oct. and Nov., 1854. Howe con- 
veyed the S. corner to Clement D. Hancox, Dec. 1, 1860 and July 7, 1863 ; he to Jo- 
seph W. Hancox, Jan 11, 18d6 ; he to Elizabeth G , wife of John N. Harriman, Aug. 
25, 1868. Garret received the N. E. half of the tract = 165 acres 2 roods 33 perches. 
By will Garret gave to his son Jacob that part which lies S. of Woodlawn Ave.; the 
balance he gave to his sons George and Richard. 

Jacob sold to Matthew Armstrong, April 1, 1833, 16 acres S. of Woodlawn Ave., 
and 6 acres to Abraham Becker, Nov. 12, 1839, lying S. of Armstrong, part of which 
Becker sold to Henry D. Van Nostrand. George took the N. E. part Avhich he sold 
to his brother Richard, July 22, 1833, who still owns what he took under his fa- 
ther's will and what he bought from his brother George, extending from Woodlawn 
Ave. to the N E. bounds of the Patent ; except a small lot E. of the plank road, sold 
to Geo. W. Robeson, now owned by the heirs of Matthew Armstrong. 

*The Patent calls for 170 Acres. The first owner was Barent Jansen. This fact 
is recited in the Norman's Patent Land Papers {Albany) G. G. 197. Claas 
Carstensen the Norman (sometimes called Van Sant) after Jansen's death, received a

grant for it, May 25, 1647. He was a soldier in the service of the company. It is 
not known if he purchased from Jansen, or if Jansen abandoned it. It then con- 
tained 50 niorgens. The Norman sold it to Jan Vinge Jan. 19, l(i55. Vinge sold it 
to the " Virtuous Annetje Dircksen, widow of Pieter Cock," who oAvned it in 1662. 
Register of Van Der Veen, N. T. 34. It is probable that she sold it to Lawrens An- 
driesen, who added to it 18 niorgens as mentioned in his patent. It was probably 
added to by previous owners, so that witli the ISmorgens, it now contained 170 acres. 
It was the first tract going S. which extended from bay to bay on which it lay "elbow 
ways." This peculiar position was caused by the course of Straatmakers Creek to 
which the lines of the several Patents from this point S. were made to conform. 
Streets have been laid to suit property lines, property lines were laid to suit Straat- 
makers Creek, hence the absence of right angles — all of which it may be well for 
" Map Commissions" to bear in mind. 

By Andriesen's will dated Aug. 29, 1679, his sons Pieter and Thomas received 
this tract. In what manner Thomas' interest became vested in I'ieter I do not know, 
but Pieter became the sole owner, and bj' will dated Jan. 20, 1735, proved Sept. 8, 
1738, left it to his sons Lawrence and Andries. I iird a deed from Andries Van Bus- 
kiik to Michael Andriesen of Communipaw, dated March 12, 1718, for a small lot 
adjoining Gerrit G. Van Wagenen, described as bounded at the middle by the divi- 
sion fence. By the same description Andriesen sold it to Cornelius Brinkerhoff by 
two deeds, March 1, 1729, and June 30, 1740. Whatever passed by these deeds lay 
within this patent and Brinkerhoff yet owned it in 1764, page 143. When or how 
the title thereto passed out of Brinkerhoff I have not discovered. Andries released 
to his brother Lawrence his interest in the farm, Oct. 14, 1723. 

The date of this deed seems to indicate that the two brothers owned the farm 
prior to their father's will, probably by gift. The father lived at Constable's Hook. 
This deed was proved before Robert Lettis Hooper, Chief Justice of New Jei«ey, 
April 7, 1731. 

Lawrence died, seized Dec. 13, 1752, leaving him surviving five children, viz: 
Cornelius, Metje, wife of Johannis La Grange, Jannetje, wife of Jacob Van Home, 
Fitje, wife of John Boll, and Anna, wife of Thomas Brown. By his will dated Nov. 
7, 1750, codicil May 27, 1752, proved April 22, 1753. Cornelius received all his father's 
real estate. He died, seized Feb. 4, 1754, intestate and without issue. His four sis- 
ters inherited the tract in question in common. But Mrs. Brown being then dead her 
interest had passed to her only child Lawrence. 

Thomas Brown bought the interest of Metje, March 13, 1757. from her two child- 
ren, John and Fitje. Jacob Van Home et ux. sold an undivided quarter to George 
Vreeland, April 1, 1758. This quarter was afterwards located next to his own land 
and lay between the " middle of the mouth of Straatmaker's Creek" and the present 
Chestnut Ave. A deed for this purpose was given to Vreeland by Thomas Brown et 
ux., and John Koll et ux., June 5, 17iJH. It was said to contain 85 acres and extended 
from N. Y. Bay. 95 chains to Swainpy Creek. This quarter east of the new Bergen 
road, went to John Vreeland under his father's will. Vide Note to Si/can's Patent p.

John Koll et ux. took the quarter adjoining S. W. the quarter sold to George Vree- 
land. He died Feb. 2, 1761, and his widow married Andries Segaerd, a mariner. 
By will dated July 14, 1784, proved April 7, 18Ul, Fitje Segaerd gave this property 
to her grand daughter, Mary, wife of Thomas Cubberly, for life and after the testa- 
trix's death to Cubberly's children, viz : Jacob, Eliznbeth, wife of Paul Salter, Gitty, 
wife of Jacob Ackerman, Ann, Avife of Joseph Van Winkle, and Maria ; who sold 
to George Vreeland, July 22, 1833, that part of Fitje Segaerd's quarter lying E. of 
the old Bergen road, and also five acres of meadow at Droyer's Point, This quarter 
lay between Chestnut Ave. and Linden Ave. 

Thomas Brown et ux. had one child, viz : Lawrence, who was born May 18, 1751 
and died July 4, 1767, intestate and unmarried. His father then purchased the inter- 
est of his son's three aunts, who had inherited his quarter. This gave him one half 
of the Patent. He married for his second wife, Mary, daughter of Samuel Ten Eyck, 
Jan. 23, 17.%. By this marriage was one child, Mary, born Oct. 17, 1756, married 
Andrew Gautier, Oct. 6, 1772. Capt. Brown died seized Oct. 30, 1782. Rj will dated 
Sept. 21, 1782. he gave all of his property to his two grandson's Thomas and Daniel 
Gautier ; to Thomas his N. Y. property and to Daniel his N. J. property. Daniel 
was born Feb. 7, 1776 and died Jan. 7, 1791, intestate and without issue. His prop- 
erty was inherited by his brother Thomas, who married Elizabeth, daughter of John 
Leary, April 28, 1796, and died, Oct. 17, 1802, leaving his widow and children, 
Thomas B., Helen D. and Samuel T. 

To carry the out will of Mary, the widow ot Thomas Brown, (who died Dec. 8,1818) 
the widow Elizabeth, Thomas B. and Helen D. released to Samuel T. that part of the 
patent lying S. of Linden Ave (owned by Capt. BroAvn) and 30 acres of meadow held 
in Common with the Cubberlysand the Vreelands, May 17, 1823. Samuel mortgaged 
to Thomas B. Gautier, May 8, 1824. This mortgage was foreclosed and the property 
sold by John Blauvelt, Sheritf, to his mother, Elizabeth Gautier, Feb. 27, 1829. She 
sold to George Vieeland Aug. 19, 1829, all lying E. of the old road. Vreeland con- 
veyed as follows : to John Sjths, 22 84-100 acres Jan. 2, 1837, bounded N. by Chest-

part of this tract which lies between Danforth and Linden Avenues, Syms conveyed 
to Matthew Armstrong, Jime 25, 1838, (Armstong died seized and his executors sold 
in lots at public auction in 1868) S3'ms sold a small part of his purchase lying N. of 
Danforth Ave. March 7, 1850 to Heniy Eosencamp (now owned by Thomas Musgi-ove)

Post, Mrs. Gautier conveyed to Ephraim Morris, who conveyed to Andrew Van Home, 
Feb. 6, 1834. He died seized, leaving Jacob G., David L., John A. and Dorcas, ^vife

Vinge, wliieh answers the description, in size, given in Carteret's patent. This seems 
to be the only tract of such a shape. I have not seen any Dutch grant to Gilbertse. 
The same tract, at least 40 acres of it, seems to liave been included in another Patent. 
Vide Note to Jacobse's Patent, p. 46. Van Wagenen received part of the conmions 
allotted to Jacobe's Patent, p. 196,. 

Gysbertsen died seized and intestate, leaving one son and two daughters. The son 
dying without issue, the land passed to the two daughters, Anna and Gysbertje, who, 
by two deeds dated Sept. 17, 1729, and April 24, 1730, sold the same to Charles Dor- 
land, son of G^'sbertje. Dorland sold the same for £.50 to Jacob Van Wagenen, Dec. 
14, 1730. He built and occupied the Point Breeze House, now owned by John H, 
Midmer. 

Several of the heirs of Jacob Van Wagenen quit-claimed their interest in the tes- 
tator's property, to Jacob Merselis ; Henry Austin and Isabella, ux, March 16, 1816 ; 
Henry Heyzer and Elizabeth, ux, July 20, 1816, and Mary Merselis, Oct. 27, 1818. 
Van Wagenen died seized Jan. 27, 1783, and his surviving executor, Jacob Van Wag- 
enen, vide Note to Spier's Patent, p. 15, sold it to Jatob Merselis and Merselis J. Mer- 
selis, June 22, 1824. It was then described as lying between the two bays, Samuel 
Gautier on the N. E. and Robert Thomson on the S. W. These grantees sold the 
right of way to the Morris Canal, Feb. 2, 1835. Merselis J. Merselis died March 21, 
1837. By his will dated March 20, 1837, he gave his realty to his four children, viz : 
Jacob M., Susan, wife of Thomas Anderson, Cathenne, wife of Garret Vreeland, and 
Mary, wife of Stephen B. Vreeland, equally. These devisees then owned an undivi- 
ded half with their grandfather Jacob. The property was partitioned by decree, dated 
June 18, 1838, as per annexed sketch. Jacob conveyed to his grandson, Jacob M. 
lots 1 and 2, June 21, 1838, on the grantee executing an agreement to quit claim to 
his sisters all his interest in Lots 3 and 4. This he afterwards did, the deed to Mrs. 




Anderson being dated, March 27, 1841, That part of lot No. 1, which lies S. E. of the 
Plank road, he sold to Edwin J. Brown, Avho sold a plot in the S. corner to John H. 
Midmer. That part of the lot which lies between the Plank road and the old 
Bergen road he mapped, (map filed June 29, 1866) and sold in lots to several people 
among whom are Michael Smith, Robert Drake, James Fleming, Matthew Arm- 
strong and John Cadmus. His sisters partitioned lots 3 and 4, report confirmed, 
Dec. Term, 1841 ; Lot 3 in annexed sketch was divided into two parts, the N.=19

Patent, p. 46, probably sold it to Severyn Laurensen, who seems to have been a way- 
ward fellow. He was a lance-corporal in the service of the West India Company. 
His views upon meum et tuum were not accurate, hence he was, April 12, 1658, sen- 
tenced to be stripj5ed of his arms and publicly flogged and branded for theft. Await- 
ing execution, he was put in jail in charge of Corporal Simon Wautersen, but escaped. 
Tliis caused the degradation of Simon to the ranks. Laurensen was re-arrested, but 
pardoned, May 12, 1658, with permission to live on Long Island. He then opened 
a tap-room, sold liquor "during divine service," for which he was prosecuted, May 
11, 1662 ; and afterwards fined for permitting pensons to play nine-pins in his place 
on Sunday. He was twice married, the last time to Grietje Hendripks, Aug. .5, 1671. 
He sold the tract in question to Hendrick Jansen Spier, who died seized, leaving his 
Avidow, Madeline Hanse (who married Jan Aertsen Van der Bilt, Dec. 10, 1681), and 
Jan, Hans, and Barent. To pay off the debts of Spier, the above-named

Jan Van der Lynden five morgens, Maj' 31. 1681, who sold to Cornells Steenwyck, 
July 29, 1681. Eomeyn sold the balance of his purchase to Poules Douwesse, ot 
Pembrepock, Dec. 6, 1682, who sold to Eutgert Van Home, March 18, 1702. The 
history of this tract henceforth is connected with that of the next Patent. 

" This tract was first granted to Gysbert Lubbertse, Dec. 5, 1654. Land Papers 
{Albany), H. H., 36, and not to Peter Jansen Slott as mentioned in the text. It may 
have been granted to Lubbertse by mistake, for on the original Patent which I have 
seen was endorsed, " This Patent must be in the name of Pieter Jansen Slott, by 
mee, Guysbert Lubbertse, May 14, 1657." By both it was treated as if made to Slott. 
The tract was 40x375 rods. Slott sold it to Joost Van der Linden, Jan. 30, 1671. 
Van der Linden's heirs, viz. : his children, Jan, Boelof, Jannetje, Hendrielje, and sons- 
in-law, Albert Zabbristke, and Laurens Laurens sold it to Cornells Steenwyck, July 
29, 1681. On the same day Jan Van der Linden sold to Steenwyck the five morgens 
belonging to the preceding Patent, bought of Komeyn, May 31, 1681, also a piece of 
meadow lying between Constable's Hook and Bergen Point, bought by him of 
Samuel Edsall. Tide Map in Note to Lot 418, p. 155 ; also a house built by him on 
the land sold by Sjoert Olphertz to Steenwyck. Steenwyck sold this land and meadow 
and part of the preceding Patent bought of Olphertz to Bartel Claesen, of Midde- 
wout, L. I., Oct. 5, 1681, for 5,000 guilders of wampum, "in good and clean Long 
Isiland wheat or other winter wheat to be grown hereabout," deed to be given on date 
of first payment, Dec. 1682. It is probable that Claesen sold lo Bartel Jacobs, the 
son-in-law of William Douglas, who sold, March 1702, to Eutgert Van Home, a 
cordwainer, the land in Slott's Patent, also the five morgens of the preceding Patent, 
also the piece of meadow between Constable's Hook and Bergen Point, also the 
ten morgens formerly belonging to Olphertz. 

It is probable that Van Home was attracted hither from Hackensack by the 
widow of Jan Van d<;r Linden, whom he married, April 25, 1697. When he pur- 
chased the whole of Davison's 2d Patent I do not know, but it was probably in 1702. 
He purchased the Van Schalckwyck Patent, in 1735. Vide Note to Fan SchalcIcwycFs

Patent, p. 17. He sold to his son-in-law, Dederick Cadmus, Nov. 17, 1740, a lot 32x 
375 rods, bounded S. W. by Jacob Barentzen Van Home, N. E. by land of grantor. 
This strip extended from bay to bay, and "vvas "within Van Schalckwyck's Patent. 
By will dated June 13, 1740, he gave to his daughter Jannetje, wife of said Cadmus, 
all his farm at Pamrepogh. In this farm was included all of the land in Davison's 
2d Patent, and the Slott and Van Schalckwyck Patents, except what he had sold to 
said Cadmus. Cadmus had one son Joris or George, and two daughters. George 
received from liis mother, by deed dated July 20, 1747, the lands bought from and 
devised by his grandfather Van Home. It must have been to clear up some doubt 
that he received a deed from his uncle, John Van Home, July 19, 1747, for a strip 
across the neck 40x375 rods (Van Schalckwyck's Patent;, and also a piece of 
meadow (in Constable's Hook Patent), reserving, however, the right to the common 
lands which had been given to him by his father, by deed, dated Aug. 12, 1738. 

This explains why the common land allotted to Van Schalckwyck's Patent was 
adjudged to Van Home when he did not own the Patent. The allotments to these 
three Patents were likely to cause trouble between Van Home and Cadmus. By an 
agreement in writing between them, dated Feb. 9, 1765, they bound themselves in 
efiect to accept the allotments adjudged to each, and so avoided legal controversy. 

By will dated June 27, 1779, proved April 14, 1786, George Cadmus gave all his 
lands at Pembrepock and Bergen Point to his sons Dirch or Richard, and Caspar or 
Jasper. Richard was a bachelor and sold to his brother Jasper March 12, 1819, all 
his interest in this tract. Jasper Cadmus, by will dated May 26, 1824, unproved, 
gave to his son Richard the S. W. half of his tract, and to his son Andrew the N. E. 
half. But Andrew dying before his father the devise was changed, so that Richard 
received the N. E. half, and still owns it The S. E. half was given to the sons of 
Andrew in tail.

* Edsall was a native of Reading, in Berkshire, England, and a hatter. In 1655 
he married Jannetje Wessels, a great belle in New Amsterdam, whose mother kept a 
tavern in Pearl Street celebrated for Burgomasters' dinners. In Api-il, 1657, he was 
admitted to the rights of a small Burgher. He was appointed Ensign in the Esopus 
war of 1663. In 1664 lie was the owner of a farm in Bergen and sent over four men to 
do liis share in the defence of the place. N. Y. Col. MSS., x., part iii., 67. After the 
surrender he swore allegiance to tlie British Government. He moved from Newtown, 
L. I., to Bergen, " in Col. Nicoll's time.'' He was a member of Carteret's Council 
from 1668 to 1672 ; appointed one of a Commission to assess and raise a tax to resist 
invasion, and treasui'er of the same when raised in 166S ; joined James Bollen and 
John Berry in petitioning the Dutch Government that the books and papers concern- 
ing the "Province called New Yarsie" be delivered to Secretary Bayard, Sept. 12,1673 ; 
and was one one of the commissioners sent by Bergen to the same government. He 
moved to New York in 1689, became an active adherent of Leisler, a member of the 
Committee ot Safety, of the Council, and of the Court of Exchequer. He now be- 
came an object of love and hatred, as he was considered by the friends or enemies of 
Leisler. The former called him " loyal," "honest," &c. ; the latter thought him an 
" insipid mobile," " most wicked and poorest of the sons of men,'' " a base villian." 
He was involved in the fall of his chief, put upon trial for high treason, and acquitted. 
In 1699 he was living in Queens County, L. I. His daughter Anna married William 
Lawrence, of N. Y., and Julia married Benjamin Blagg, of Plymouth, England. To 
these two sons-in-law he gave all his lands in the lower part of Bergen County. It 
is said that he had two sons, Richard and John, who settled at Hackensack. John died 
in 1774, aged 54 years, leaving two sons, Samuel and John. Annals of Kew-

The Johnson here referred to was Claas Jansen de Backer. Yide Note to de Bacler's 
Patent, p 10. His interest in the tract was sold by Nicholas Bayard at Public Auc- 
tion in N. Y., Sept. 22, 1670, to Samuel Edsall for 4G20 Guilders, wampum value. 
Edsall sold to Jan Van der Linden a piece of meadow lying between the Hook and 
Bergen Point. This I take to be the piece of meadow adjoining the upland S. of the 
Constable's Hook road. Vide Note to Slott's Patent, p 17. It was owned by the Cad- 
mus family in 1764, and even to a much later date. Fide Note to Lot 418, p 155.

the said Marsh or Meadow joins the Upland and Kill Van Kull ; and 
from the said Stone runs Northerly along the West Side of the said salt 

Edsall sold the balance of the tract to Hans Harmanse of Long Island, Feb. 20, 
1694, for £5(52. 10. Harmanse died Oct. 2(5, 1700. By his will dated Nov. 12, 1694, his 
daughter Trintje, wife of Peter Van Boskerk and his grandson Hartman, son of his 
deceased daughter A)inetje,wi?e of Claas Vreeland, received the ti act in common. Hart- 
man Claasen sold his interest to his uncle Peter Van Boskerk, Dec. 17, 1730. By 
his will dated Jan. 20, 1735, proved Sept. 8, 1738, Van Boskerk gave to his 
sons Jbhannis and Lawrence 600 acres of land near Hackensack ; to Andries 60 acres 
out of the tract in question, bordering on the Kills ; the remainder of the tract to his 
son Jacobus. Jacobus and the widow of Andries were yet living in 1764. The four 
sons bound themselves in writing, Nov. 30, 1736, to divide the estate according to 
their father's will. Deeds of release for this purpose were executed July 20, 1738. 
By will dated May 24, 1763, proved Dec. 23, 1782, Andries gave his realty to his 
wife Margaret for life, then to be sold and the proceeds divided among his children. 
Helmus Vreeland and William Douglas were named executors. Vreeland the surviv- 
ing executor sold the 60 acres of Andries to Israel Oakley, April 10, 1784 ; Oakley 
to Abraham Van Buskirk, Jan. 3, 1797. In 1798 Van Buskirk sold it to Thomas 
Hazard, deed unrecorded. There seems to have been an exchange of land between 
Van Buskirk and Hazard, the former receiving a lot in Frankfort st., N. Y. City, 
for his land at the Hook. Hazard sold 12 9-10 acres of Lot 270 to Andrew Van Horn 
Sept. 21, 1797 (Abraham Van Buskirk was a subscribing witness to this deed). 
This lot lay E. of the Plank road and N. of Constable's Hook road. Van Horn sold 
5 9-10 acres to Michael B. Terhune in 1805, (deed acknowledged May 7, 1805,) and 
Terhune to Thomas E. Davis, Aug. 30, 1838. Davis mortgaged and the mortgages 
were afterwards foreclosed. Jacobus Van Buskirk died Jan. 3, 1767. By his will 
dated Sept. 14, 1765, proved Feb. 18, 1767, he divided his interest in the tract between 
his two sons Peter and John. The lot of Common land No. 418, adjudged to him for 
this Patent, he gave to them in common. Peter died June, 1819. By will dated April 
1, 1816, he gave all his property to the children of his daughters, Elizabeth, wife of 
Cornelius Vreeland, and Rachel, wife of William Vreeland. These children were 
Margaret, wife of Henry Vreeland, Eliza, wife of Stephen Terhune, Jane, wife of 
Garret J. Vreeland, Rachel, wife of Henry J. Mandeville, Anne, wife of Michael M. 
Vreeland, William. C, Cornelius, and Peter. Among these the estate was partitioned 
June 3, 1830, and the proceedings confirmed in June term 1831. This sketch shows 
the partition.

By several deeds from 1834 to 1836, the interest of these children became vested 
in Thomas E. Davis. 

John left his interest in the tract to his only son Jacobus, who died Aug. 12, 1832. 
By will dated Sept. 28, 1823, proved Dec. 27, 1823, he pave all his realty to his sons 
John, Nicholas and James, on condition that they should not sell but divide it among 
their children. They partitioned, and the map is now on file in the county clerk's 
office. James' will was dated July 14, 1854, proved Sept. 4, 1856. Vide Note to Lots 
418 and 419, p. 155. 

*'■ These lots were sold to the patentees by Samuel Edsall, July 15, 1669. They 
were merchants in Barhadoes. 

Lot No. 59 lay in the N. W. corner of the town plot. On it was a kitchen, barn, 
and brew-house. 

Lots No. 32 and 33 : One lay on the N. W. side of the town adjoining the N. W. 
gate ; the other on the N. E. side, adjoining the highway. 

Lot No. 39 was composed ot two wood lots, each 14 rods wi-de, bounded S. W. by 
the N. E. lane " that goes into the woods." 

Lot No. 64. The five upland lots were wood lots, each 19x150 rods. The five 
meadow lots adjoined the N. W. end of the five wood lots, and extended to the 
Hackensack river. Joseph Hawkins owned part of this lot, and died seized. 
Casparus Prior died seized of part of it, which he gave to his grandchildren by will. 
J'ide Note to Farlet's Patent, p. 62. Jasper received this in the partition of his grand- 
father's estate, and sold 20 acres, extending from the E. end of the lot to a ditch to 
Pe ter Bentley and Stephen D. Harrison, March 1, 1856, the present owners. The 
balance of the upland was sold to Peter Bentley, Nov. 1, 1853, by the commissioners 
to divide the estate of Richard Van Eypen. 

RoelofVan Houten and Maritje ux, sold. May 2, 1745, to Cornelius Brinkerhofl'a 
part of this Patent, = 19 acres, 1 rood, 16 rods of upland, and 9^ acres of meadow, 
lying between Zachaiias Sickles and Hendrick Vanderhoof. This I take to be a part 
oi Lot 64, afterwards known as Brinkerhort"s "Brown's Ferry Lot." Tide Note to 
Baclers Patent, p. 10. It is probable that Johannis Van Eypen purchased Lot 39 
shortly after 1764. His son. Garret — "Long Gat" — inherited it, and divided it by 
deed, Dec, 14, 1836 (vide also May 9, 1835), between his sons-in-law, viz. : John G. 
Van Home, who received the N. W. quarter; Daniel Van Eyjien, who received the 
quarter next S. E. of Van Home ; John Van Buslirlc, who received the quarter next 
S. E. of Van Kypen, which he sold to Aaron Sergeant, April 1, 1837 ; and Cornelius 
Van WinJcle, who received the S. E. quarter. Van Rypen's daughter, Catlyntje, wife 
of Helmigh Van Houten, died before her father.

* At what time Steinmets came to this country does not appear. In the spring of 
1652, having lost liis first wife, he married Jaiinekin Gerrits, ofZutphen, probably 
living at Harsimus at that time. For his third wife, he married Tryntje, the widow 
of Jacob StofFelsen. He resided at Harsimus, and was driven out by the Indians in 
1655. He went to New Amsterdam, where, on Feb. 22, 1656, he was licensed to tap

Pieter. By his will, dated Dec. 13, 1677, proved April 9, 1678, Claas and Jan 
Arentse Toers were named executors with power to sell. In his lifetime the patentee 
had sold a house and planter's lot == \^ lots to Laurent Arentse Toers, who sold the 
same to Jacob Jacobsen Van Winckel, who sold to Jan A. Sip. This sale was con- 
firmed to Sip by the executors, May 22, 1711. It lay adjacent to the lot sold to Sip 
by Van Voorst, 7^x17^ rods. Frederick Thomase sold to Hendrick Sickles " land 
in and about the town," Oct. 10, 1732. Whatever passed by this sale, I think, must 
have been within this Patent. Sickles, by will, dated June, 22, 1776, proved May 12, 
1783, gave to his sons, Derriek and John, all his lands. 

Wander Diedericks bought, Dec. 16, 1710, of the executors of the patentee, 5 mor-

widow's will was dated May 26, 1730; proved Jan. 9, 1744. His son, Arent, received 
his property. The following facts relating to the Toers (or Tuers) family may assist 
in tracing title to some of the lands owned by that family. Claes Arentse Toers m. 
Jacomyntje Van Neste, July 6, 1684, d. Oct. 10, 1724. Arent, named in his mother's

G. and Henry. Garret received all N. of Newkirk Street and Henry all S. of that 
street. Garret still owns all W. ot Palisade Ave., except a small piece on the W. end, 
which he sold to Maria, wife of Smith Garrabrant. All E. of Palisade Ave. he has

tract E. of the town, was inherited by his children, James M., Henry H., Garret, John, 
Mary, wife of George V. De Mott, and Eliza, wife of Francis P. Gautier. 

In the partition between Mathevis and Hendrick Lot 70 was divided as follows : 
Mathevis took the N. hal^ which was afterwards partitioned between his sons. Hen- 
drick took the S. half, which was partitioned between his sons. Garret H. and George, 
the former taking the E. half and the latter the W. half. Vide Note to Pieterse's Patent,

It is to be Observ'd, there is an Out-Garden in this Dutch Patent 
(mark'd on our Map No. 94) which we have run out and survey'd for 
Guert Coerten under his first Patent from Philip Carteret dated twelfth 
of May One thousand six hundred and sixty eight, it appearing from the 
Description in both Patents to be the very same Garden. So that Coerten 
must have purchased it of Teunise and got it confirm'd to him in his said 
Patent from Carteret. 

There is also a Lott of Upland and Meadow mentioned in this Dutch 
Patent (mark'd on our Map No. 91) Which we have run out &: survey'd 
for Guert Coerten under his first Patent from Philip Carteret dated 
twelfth of May, One thousand six hundred and sixty eight, it appearing 
most probable from the Description in both Patents to be the same Lot. 
So, that (as well as the Out-Garden) Coerten must also have purchas'd 
this Lot of Upland and Meadow of Teunise and got it confirm'd in his 
said first Patent from Carteret. And this is the more probable, as we 
cou'd find no other Place that wou'd suit the Description given of this 
Lot, neither does Mr. Van Wagenen the present Owner and Possessor of 
this Dutch Patent claim, or know anything of such Lot.

This patent was confirmed by Gov. Carteret, March 31, 1668. It included two 
pieces of meadow. 

1st — Meadow, as well the salt as the reed meadow, about half a Dutch league N. 
of Wihaken, "Antiently known by the name of Jacob Slaugh's Meadow." 

2d - Meadow, about a Dutch league further up, called by the name of Moertien 
Danidts valley, or meadow. In the corruption of this latter name may be found the 
present Mordanis meadow. 

Anthony sold to Cornelius Van Borsum, June 28, 1678, his interest in the above 
tracts, " known by the names of Jacob Slaugh and Moertje Daniels. 

A small part of this meadow was sold by John Somerindyke, executor of Richard 
Somerindyke, to Arthur McCarter, Aug. 1829. McCarter sold to Robert Annett, 
June 8, 1835 ; Annett to Michael Carling, Jan. 26, 1848 ; Carling to Henry A. W. 
Barclay and William R. Townsend 32 6-100 acres, and the right to the shore front, 
2 52-100 acres ; Barclay and Townsend to Dudley S. Gregory, Dec. 6, 1849; Grego- 
ry to Nathaniel Dole, March 1, 1864. The title to the meadow is in great obscurity. 
It siems to have passed, by descent, among non-residents. There is not any recorded 
paper title. The rapid increase in the value of this property will, Avithout a doubt, 
soon bring about a legal settlement of the ownership, which has been an uncertainty 
for more than a ceniury. Vide Note to Lot Xo. 219, p. 77.

thousand six hundred and sixty three. Confirm'd by Patent 
from rhih'p Carteret to said Varlet and Bayard, dated the 
thirtyeth Day of October One thousand six hundred and 
sixty seven for a certain Plantation or Parcel of Land and 
Meadow call'd Sekakus, lying in the Kill Van Cul. 
^Ur cSUtUC^ wherei f shews and we adjudge it to be a Tract 
(mark'd on the Map No. 146).* 

** Sccaucus, Sikakes, an Indian woid, tignif3ing the place ukere the snale hides. 

The wording of Carteret's Patent is as follows: "Doe hereby Give, Grant and 
Confirnie unto Nicliolas Ver Lett Esqr. of the Towne of Bergen and Nicholas Bajard of 
New Yoike a Sartain Plantation or P'rcel of Land lying and btingin the Kill van Cole 
known in the Indian Language by the Ncine of Sickakus which was lawfully pv.r- 
cliastd from the Indians and Paid for as may appeare by the Bill of Sale made by the 
Indyans the 30th day of January in the Year of Our Lord 1658 Stila Nova, Which 
said Parcell of Land together with all the Land and Meadows round about it and an- 
nexed Thereunto with the Creek and Creeks, Ponds, Poules, Swamps and Isletts as 
far as it Readies to the Fine Land, Fishing, Fowling, Hunting, with all and Singular 
the Appurtenances " &c. " as of the Manner of East Greenwich in free and Common 
Socage, Yielding and Paying to the said Lord PrPrietors" &c "One half Penny of 
Lawfull Money of England for every Acre." "The said Plantation or Parcell of land 
is Estetmed and Valued according to the Survey and Agietment made to Contain, 
both of LTpland and Meadow the Sum of two thousand Acres English Measure." 

In 1674 the Indians raised a question as to the Dutch title to the Island. They 
contended that the deed to Stuyvesant included only "Espatingh and its dependen- 
cies." But the Dutch Council at Fort Willem Hendrick, having examined the deed 
and heard arguments, decided that the land was included in the sale. The Indians 
replied ihat they did not know this, and thought " they ought to have a present of 
an anker of rum." To extinguish their title this was given, Col. Hist, of y. Y. it, 707, 
and the simple ones were satisfied. While in possession of the patentees Varlet died, 
and Samuel Edsall and Peter Stoutenburgh were appointed his administrators. They 
joined Bayard in selling the tract, April 24, 1676, to Edward Earle, Jr., of Maryland. 
Earl sold to Judge William Pinhorne, March 26, 1679, for £500, one undivided half 
of the tract, also one half of all the stock, "Christian and negro servants." The fol- 
lowing schedule was annexed to the deed : " One dwelling house, containing two 
lower rooms and a lean-to below staires, and a loft above. Five tobacco houses, one 
hors, one mare and two Coults, eight oxen, ten Cows, one bull, foure yearlings, and 
seven Calves, between thirty and forty hoggs, foure negro men, five christian servants." 
Not long after this, Scott in his " Model of the government of East Jersey," calls the 
place "a brave plantation." 

Pinhorne and Earle held in common until April 15, 1682, when a division was 
made. Earle took the upper, and Pinhorne the lower portion of the Island. On the 
E. boundary of Pinhorne's land was a creek, which took its name from the Judge and 
to this day is known as Pinhorne's Creek. On the S. end of the Island is a bluff, 
known at different times as " Slangen Bergh," and " Snake Hill." " Mount Pinhorne" 
was the high land, a little N. E. of Snake Hill. It was for some time questioned whether 
or not thi.-? tract was within the old township of Bergen. To settle this question, the 
Proprietors directed a survey, Oct. 30, 1686; which was made by George Keith, and 
it was found to be within the township. Pinhorne claimed that his deed included 
the swamp E. of the creek and resisted the claim of the Freeholders that it was Com- 
mon Land. In 1694 he sued Caspar Steinmets in trespass for cutting timber in the

swamp, but I do not know that the case was ever brought to trial. On May 10, 1717, 
he executed a deed for his land to John Barclay, of Perth Atnboy, in trust for the 
grantor and his wife, and after their death to his children. But having some mis- 
givings about it he destroyed this deed. After his death his widow and children filed 
a bill in Chancery to prohibit the Freeholders of Bergen cutting timber in the swamp 
E. of the creek The trustees filed an answer. The result I do not know, but there 
can be no doubt that these pretentions were groundless, and the Field Book properly 
places the tract W. of the Creek. 

By Pinhorne's will, dated May 10, 1719, proved April 12, 1720, he gave his lands 
to his wife for life ; then to be divided between his grandson John Pinborne, Col. 
Edmund Kingsland, who married his daughter Mary ; his daughter Martha, widow 
of Chief Justice Mompesson (she afterward* mirrie:! Richard Warman), and Elizabeth 
who married Timothy Baglej'-, each one quarter. In the summer of 1729, Col. Kings- 
land advertised " Mount Pinborne" for sale -"600 acres of timber, 200 acres of cleared 
land, 1000 acres of meadow, with a new house and barn, two orchards of about 1200 
bearing apple trees." The heirs of Pinhorne sold part of this tract to Thomas Alsop, 
of Long Island, Dec. 15, 1730. In this purchase John Bard afterwards became inter- 
ested. By Col. Kingsland's will, dated July 29, 1741, proved July 26, 1742, he left 
his interest in this tract to his children William Edmund, Roger, Isaac, Edmund, Mary, 
Anna, Hester, Catharine, and Elizabeth, wife of George Leslie. By will dated May 20, 
1728 (1743?), proved Sept. 18, 1751, Leslie gave the property received from Kings- 
land to his children George W., John, Edmund, James, and Margaret. 

Earle's will, dated May 18, 1709, proved May 8, 1717, gave his lands to his wife 
for her life, then to his son Edward for his life, then to his grandson Edward in fee. 
This grandson's will was dated Oct. 18, 1750, proved May 12, 1755. His children 
were Edward, John, Philip, Anthebe, Robert, Elizabeth, Hester, and Mary, wife of John 
Nelson. Among these children he divided up his lands, but in what proportion I can- 
not say. Edward (4th), by will dated Nov. 2, 1787, proved Jan. 25, 1788, gave to his 
sons Richard and John all his Secaucus lands. His children were Richard, John, Ed- 
xoa'^d, Cecelia, wife of Rodman Fields, and Mary. The poor-house farm is on the S. 
part of tbe Pinhorne tract. Job Smith sold it to Albert A. Westervelt, 200 acres, 
March 15, 1820 ; Westervelt to Abel I. Smith, April 28, 1820 ; Abel to " The Trustees 
of the Freeholder's Inhabitants of the Township of Bergen," April 29, 1820. The 
trustees, &-c., sold the same to the " Overseers of the Poor of the Township of Bergen," 
May 3, 1833, who sold to the Board of chosen Freeholders of Hudson County. 

Andrew Tead et ux. owned a large tract at Secaucus. They sold to Robert Leake, 
of N. Y., 400 acres, March 27, 1762. Leake died seized, and his property was inherited 
by his eldest son Robert William, who empowered John George Leake, July 7, 1774, 
to sell. He sold this tract to John Stevens, March 10, 1795. 



182 WKST INDIA company's FARM. 

SlSllC fOUUtr a ^TttlCt now in the possession of Captain Archibald 
Kennedy at Horsiiiius. The State of The Title to which (being neither 
Patent nor Cirant) we found to be very intricate. 

Jrt appCtirS, that, the States of Holland granted New Netherland 
to The West Indie Company of Amsterdam. That, the said West Indie 
Company by their Covernors in New Netherland purchas'd from Time 
to Time large Tracts from the Indians, and patented out the same in sev- 
eralty to Dutch Subjects. This Tract at Horsimus (in possession of Ken- 
nedy) appears to be a Part remaining unpatented of a Large Tract of 
Land, now the Township of Bergen, purchas'd of the Indians by Govern- 
or Petrus Stuyvesant for the Use of said West Indie Company. 

It appears probable that this Tract at Horsimus was peculiady reserv"d 
for said West Indie Company having been always call'd ^j|)0 SSECJSt 

It's presum'd, that, this Tract stood thus circumstanc'd at the Time of 
the Surrender of this Country by the Dutch in the Year One thousand six 
hundred and sixty four ; And, that, it remain'd secured to the said West 
Indie Company by the first Article of that Surrender; And as it was in 
their Possession by their Tenant at the Time of granting the Charter of 
Bergen ; We conceive, it did not pass, by that Charter, And therefore is no 
part of the Common Lands of the Township of Bergen. 

3r!)Cn as to the Bounds, We find. That, Horsimus is a 
Tract nearly circumscrib'd by a natural Boundary. But as 
there has been laid before us several Patents hereafter men- 
tion'd for sundry Parcels of Land lying within that Boundary, 
and which we have run out, and ascertain'd there ; Thence 
we are of Opinion, That, (The West Indie Company's Farm 
or) The Tract now in Possession of Captain Kennedy is 
limited by that natural Boundary of Horsimus, lEpCtptllTfl 
autl f0BPri)l1Tfl those Lands granted by and mention'd in 
the said several Patents. 

(BXIV ^UtiytS therefore of the Land now in Possession of Cap- 
tain Kennedy at Horsimus Shews, and we Adjudge it (under the 
^68 Exception «S: Reservation after * mention'd) to be a Tract mark'd 

on the Map No. 169 * 

'' Atter the purchase of Pauw's interest in Pavonia, this tract was held with great 
tenacity by the Dutch West India Compan}', and became known as their farm. By 
them it was regarded as the natural outlet for all the native commerce attracted to 
New Amsterdam from the vast country on this side of the Hudson. Its ownership 
was the main cause of Pauw's troubles, for the other directors were convinced that it 
gave him too much control of the Indian trade. Though for a long time diverted, 
commerce is returning to its first love, and old Ahasimus, with its surroundings, 
again becomes a depot for the great West and South of this country ; and, as the 
natural terminus of the Pacific lines of railway, of the trade of the Orient. It origin- 
ally included the whole of Ahasimus, but was reduced to about 383 acres by grants 
to Van Vorst and others. It was reserved to the Company by the first of the 
"Articles of Capitulation " in 1664 : " We consent that the States General, or West 
India Company, shall freely injoy all farms and houses (except such as are in the 
forts;" etc. O'Cal. \. X., ii, 532 But war between England and Holland having

" after the usual ringing of the City Hall bell three times," declared confiscated to the 
king the real and personal property of the Dutch W. I. Co., "in consequence of the 
Company's inflicting all sorts of injury on his Royal Majestie's subjects." From this 
time the Governors of N. Y. claimed the tract for the Duke of York, and it was known 
as the " Duke's Farm." By them leases were given. On March 1, 1667, Jacob Stof- 
felsen and wife received a lease to run from Jan. 1, 1667, for and during the life of the 
'' longest liver." The wife survived Stoifelsen, and married Caspar Steinmets. He 
obtained a lease April 12, 1674, in right of his wife. Aug. 17, 1678, his wife being 
dead, he received a lease of the farm for life. Aug. 13, 1685, Gov. Dongan gave to 
John Palmer a lease for ninety-nine years of the reversion, " from the feast of St. 
Michael, the Archangel, next ensuing after the determination qf the estate" of Stein- 
mets. Deeds [Albany), vii, 170; Col. Hist, of N. Y., iii, 411. Feb. 5, 1686, John and 
Garret, sons of Caspar Steinmets, bought the Palmer lease, and, after the death of 
their father, divided the form ; John taking the S. half, and Garret taking the N. half. 
Feb. 24, 1708. John conveyed his interest in the farm to his wife for her life, then to 
his nephew, Jacob Prior. After John's death, his widow married Peter Van Woog- 
lem. They and Jacob Prior assigned to David Hennion, alias David Danielson, the 
remainder of the term under the Palmer lease. This was about 1715. In the mean- 
time the freeholders of Bergen claimed the farm as common land under Carteret's 
grant of 1668. This the propiietors denied, and claimed it for themselves. Acting 
upon this claim they disposed of it, and the following is the history of the title as 
derived from them. 

Robert West, one of the proprietors, by lease and release dated April 1 and 2, 1684, 
sold his interest in East Jersey to Thomas Cox. Cox sold to Sir Eugenius Cameron, of 
Lochiel,13-40ths of his interest of l-24th part, April 2 and 3, 1685. Sir Eugenius sold to 
Donald Cameron July 30, 1716. Donald Cameron sold to Evan Drummond, Nov. 17, 
1721. Drummond sold one-half of said 13-40ths to James Alexander, July 17 and 18, 
1723. Alexander reconveyed to Drummond 383 acres of unappropriated land, Feb. 
22 and 23, 1724. On the 26th of the same month this amount of land was surveyed 
to Drummond by the Surveyor-General, " upon a tract of land fonnerly called the 
West India Company's Farm." 

This survey was endorsed, with the approval of 16-2nths of the proprietors. The

money for the purchase and cost of location was furnished by Archibald Kennedy. 
Feb. 13, 1724, Drummond executed a declaration of trust that he lield the land for the 
use and benefit of Kennedy. In 1725 Drummond filed a bill in Chancery against 
Danielson for that part of the farm held by him. Gov. Burnet made a decree in ac- 
cordance with the prayer of the bill, Aug. 17, 1727. Sept. IS, 1727, Danielson acknowl- 
edged Kennedy as his landlord, and accepted from him a lease of the S. half of the 
farm until May 1, 1728. Oct. 10, 1727, Garret Steinmets, who was yet holding the 
N. half of the farm under the Palmer lease, surrendered to Kennedy, and accepted 
from him a lease for life at the reHt of one ear of Indian corn when demanded, and a 
proper proportion of the Quit-rents reserved to the proprietors. Steinmets assigned 
his interest in this lease to Mattys De Mott Feb. 20, 1729. 

On the expiration of Danielson's lease, Kennedy took possession of the S. half of 
the farm. The death of Garret Steinmets in 1733 gave Kennedy the possession of the 
N. half. 

Draramond's will was dated Dec. 13, 1736. Andrew Johnson, his surviving ex- 
ecutor, tiansferred the title to Kennedy, April 24, 1747. Thus his possession was 
complete, and his title as perfect as the proprietors could make it. He died June 14, 
1763. By his will, his son Archibald, Earl of Casselis, received two-thirds of the prop- 
erty, and his daughter Catherine one-third. Catherine sold her interest in the farm 
to her brother, May 16, 1765, for £1333 6s. Sd. 

From the time that Kennedy took possession of the farm, there was a continual 
strife between him and the freeholders of Bergen. Trespasses, ejectments, injunc- 
tions, indictments, verdicts, and decrees followed each other for nearly three-quarters 
of a century. Kennedy filed a bill for quiet possession Sept. 8, 1783. This was dis- 
missed by Chancellor Paterson, March 6, 1793. The decree of dismissal was opened, 
and the cause reargued Feb. 11, 1794. A decree, dated Feb. 20, 1794, was made that 
the freeholders should bring a suit in ejectment in the Supreme Court, to be tried be- 
fore a special jury from Somerset County, and the verdict certified to the Chancellor. 
Such suit was brought, and the jury rendered a verdict In favor of the freeholders, 
Feb. 27, I80O. Kennedy still held on, and a bill was filed asking the court to give 
effect to the verdict. A compromise was at last effected, and both parties sold to John 
B. Coles, of N. Y., Feb. 4, 1804. 

Kennedy, Earl of Casselis, died Dec. 29, 1794, leaving two sons, John and liobert, 
who, by his will, dated Jan. 19, 1794, received all his lands in America. In 1803 they 
made Kobert Watts, of N. Y., their attorney in fact, to sell their lands, and he exe- 
cuted the deed to Coles. 

John B. Coles died seized, Jan. 2, 1827. His children were Hannah, Eliza F., Isaac 
W., Benjamin U., John B., and WiUiani F.

The Farm was mapped in 1804, map made by Joseph F. Mangin. 

The tract not be'ng Patent land, no common land was allotted to it. Yet by virtue 
of his claim to the Farm, it was feared Kennedy might succeed in getting a portion of 
the commons. He quit-claimed all his right thereto for £310, to Wm. Bayard, Hen-

chase money in the above proportions. 

The money received for the lot was more than enough to defray the expenses of the 
allotment, and the following is interesting as showing what became of the surplus. It

["Corporation of Bergen's Powers to the Trustees to appropriate surplus moneys 
to charges of Subdivision &c."] 

•• Know all men by these presents, that whereas, by an Act of the Legislature of 
the Colony of New Jersey, Entitled "an Act appointing Commissioners for finally 
settling & determining the several Eights, Titles and Claims to the Common Lands 
of the Township of Bergen, and for making a partition thereof in just and equitable 
proportions among those, who shall be adjudged by the said Commissioners to be en- 
titled to the same." The Commissioners therein named and appointed were directed 
to set apart & sell so much of said Common Lands as they should think sufficient to 
defray the Charges of a general partition of the said Common Lands, and out of the 
moneys arising by such sale to detain in their hands the charges of the said general 
partition, and to pay the surplus (if any) to the Trustees of the Freeholders inhab- 
itants of the said Township of Bergen, for the use of the Corporation. 

And whereas, at a public meeting of the said Freeholders Inhabitants of said 
Township of Bergen, with the Trustees held at the Town of Bergen, on the second 
day of July last past, it was agreed and concluded, as well by the Trustees as the 
Freeholders Inhabitants of the said Township and Corporation of Bergen, that out of 
the surplus monej' arising by the sale of the Land aforesaid if sufficient for that pur- 
pose, the arrears of Quit Rents due from the Township to the General Proprietors of 
the Eastern Division of New Jersey, should be paid and discharged, and also, that 
out of the same if sufficient the Trustees should have all their reasonable demands 
against the said Township fully satisfied ; and if any of the said surplus should then 
remain, it was also agreed and concluded that the same should be proportioned & 
divided among the said Freeholders and Inhabitants. 

And whereas the Land so set apart hath, pursuant to the said Law, been latelj' 
sold, and produced a much greater sum of money than was expected, insomuch that 
after defraying the expense of the General Partition, discharging the Quit Rents to 
the General Proprietors, and the reasonable demands of the Trustees, a surplus will 
then remain sufficient (as it is conceived) to defray the whole charge that may acci-ue 
in making a Subdivision of the said Common Lands, if applied to that purpose. 

And whereas, the charges attending the said Subdivision seem by the said law in- 
tended to be raised by selling a part of the Commons allotted to each respective Patent, 
which method, if pursued would be attended with length of time and many other in- 
conveniences, troublesome to the Commissioners, and detrimental to the general inter- 
est of the Freeholders. 

Therefore we the Subscribers, Freeholders Inhabitants of the Township & Cor- 
poration of Bergen, taking into Consideration the above matters, and finding that the 
law seems rather to permit than enjoin such sales to be made, do hereby appropriate 
such surplus money aforesaid, raised by the sale of the land aforesaid, set apart 
& sold for defraying the charge of the General Partition remaining after defraying 
the same, and the Quit Rents to the Proprietors, and the reasonable demands of the 
said Trustees, or so much of the said surplus as may be sufficient for that purpose, 
to be a fund for defraying the charge that may accrue on making all the subdivisions 
of the said Common Lands. And we do hereby authorize, impower, and order, 
Johannis Uriance, Hendricus Kuyper, and Helmigh Van Houte, or either of them 
(who we acknowledge to be Trustees) to pay unto, or otherwise suffer Charles Clin- 
ton, William Donaldson, Azariah Dunham, John Berrien, Abraham Clark jr, and

shall express to have been paid on account of the Subdivisions aforesaid. And we do

having an interest in the said surplus money, do, on our part hereby agree as follows :

charges of the said subdivisions of the said Common Lands as shall be sufficient for 
that purpose. 

Secondly, that we will punctually conform to the power and directions above

surplus money that shall remain in our hands (after our own reasonable demands and 
the charges of making the Subdivisions aforesaid) shall be thereout fully paid and 
discharged ; if any part of the said surplus shall then so remain in our hands, not 
needed for the purposes aforesaid, and for the final ratification and true performance 
of these presents, We. the said Freeholders, Inhabitants, and Members of the Said 
Township and Corporation of Bergen (Trustees inclusive) have hereunto set our 
hands the Eleventh day of December, seventeen hundred and sixty-four.

The tract was divided into 37 lots ; IS fronting on Newark Bay, and 18 on Kill 
Van Kull, besides one other lot for the use of a ferry to Staten Island. Kuyper's as- 
sociates received from him a deed for a lot on the bay, a lot on the kill, and l-18th 
of the ferry lot. These deeds were dated March 7, 1765, and to each was annexed an 
original map, made by Azariah Dunham, one of the Commissioners, showing the divi- 
sion of the tract. The map, which I have reproduced, was copied from the original

Douglas, June 20, 1787, a deed for one-half of this lot, one-half of lot 18, on the Bay, 
and l-36th of the Ferry lot. It seems that Michael had sold the Kill lot to Eich- 
ard Vai-ick Sept. 12, 1774, and Varick's devisees, Abraham and Richard Varick, 
sold the same to George Mclntyre, May 1, 1790.

FERRY LOT. 

The interests of the different owners of this lot became consolidated in Charles 
Henry Lambert Preudhomme du Pont, in 1800. I will not attempt to trace the sev- 
eral transfers. At that time it lay E. of the road. He annexed it to Lot No. 10, by 
procuring a relocation of the road to the E. side of the Lot, Feb 17, 1801. Fide Note 
to Kill Lot No. 10. It is well to observe that the road as now in existence is entirely 
upon the Ferry lot, and that the road was opened to the water and there connected 
with the Ferry. For many years, however, its use to the water's edge has been 
abandoned.

* Bergen Church was incorporated Dec. 20, 1771, by Act of the Legislature. 
On March 5, 1806, the Congregation determined to sell their lands, and the Consistory 
decided to sell this lot to the highest bidder. The E. part of the lot was sold to Jacob 
Prior April 30, 1806 (Elias Eai-1 bought a piece of the lot, which Abraham Vreeland 
afterwards purchased). These sales were confirmed Jan. 28, 1814. Owing to an in- 
accuracy in the description, a new deed was given to Prior Dec. 5, 1809. His pur- 
chase was on the E. end of the lot = 30f acres and six perches. By will, dated Aug. 
14, 1830, Prior gave this lot to bis children Nicholas and Gitty, wife of Henry Allen. 
Allen et ux. sold their interest in the lot Oct. 2, 1833, and confirmed it by another 
deed July 16, 1850. 

Nearly half of the lot remained in possession of the Church. The Consistory re- 
solved, Sept. 21, 1835, to take the sense of the Congregation as to selling the lands of 
the Church. A paper was circulated for that purpose, and the result was 94 votes for 
the sale; 1 vote for the sale, "except the lands near where the church now is," and — 
votes for the sale, " except the old parsonage lot " ; nays, none. An act was passed 
in 1837 empowering the Church to sell lands. The W. half of the lot = 31 80-100 
acres, bounded N. E. by the heirs of Clendenny and David Yreeland, S. E. by Nicholas 
Prior, S. W. by John E. Post, N. W. by the old road, was sold to Stephen Garretson 
Feb. 11, 1839. The grantee being a deacon in the Church at the time, a question was 
raised as to his title. A confirmatory deed was executed May 31, 1851. Garretson 
sold to Luman Sherwood June 10, 1851, and he to Edwin J. Brown Sept. 27, 1852.

'-■ In the allotment of the Common Lands the Commissioners had regard to the lo- 
cation of the Patents to which they were allotted. From and including the Wee- 
hawken Patent south along the river to and including Dirck Sycau's first Patent, the 
owners thereof received lands extending from the river bacli to what was known as the 
Bergen Line. The reason assigned for this was, that these persons could boat their fuel 
from their wood-lots to their homes. The district in which these lots, assigned to the 
shore owners lay, was known by the general name of Slonga. It lay between Wee- 
hawken and the northerly bounds of the county. 

The owners of the patented lands south of the southerly bounds of Dirck Sycan's 
first Patent received their commons in that immediate vicinity — in Greenville and 
Bayonne ; then known as Minkakwa, Pembrepogh, and Bergen Point. 

The owners of patented lands on the Hill received their commons north of the 
patented lands, and between the westerly line of the shore lots and the easterly line 
of the Secaucus Commons. This district was known by the general name of Bergen 
Woods, but sometimes called the Bergen Lots. 

The lands allotted to the patent of Secaucus were known by the name of the Se- 
caucus Commons. 

It is scarcely necessary to remind the reader that the private ownership of the lots 
hereinafter described, having been held in common up to that time, does not date be- 
yond the Field Book. 

t Lots Nos. 201, 202, 203, were confiscated as the property of William Bayard. Vide

Nevertheless, I have been able, with proper assistance, to reproduce the map from 
the descriptions in the Haring deeds. I have no doubt of its accuracy as here in- 
serted, reduced to one third of tlie size of tlie lots on the Field Map. 

: . Lots Xos. 1 and 2^6.5 acres 

Hai-ingsold to Daniel Baldwin 
Dec. 1, 1784. This tract in- 
cludes Kings Point, or" High- 
wood." Baldwin conveyed to 
Daniel Smith March 28, 1788, 
who conveyed it to his son 
Daniel Sept. 3, 1796; who 
conveyed to David Hennion 
July 25, 1815. Hennion gave 
to Smith a mortgage. Smith 
seems to have died about this 
time, and his heirs released to 
Charles Watts in February 
and March, 1819 ; who con- 
veyed to Moses Isaacs Nov. 4, 
1819. Smith assigned the Hen- 
nion mortgage to Philip Earle, 
who foreclosed and purchased 
the property at sheriffs sale 
June 3, 1822. The Hoboken 
Land Improvement Company 
conveyed to James G. King 
June 6, 1842, 14 4-10 acres, 
including the "Point." Mr. 
King purchased of Philip 
Earle's executors two acres 
near the gate house April 18, 
1840. All of these two lots 
lying E. of the Bulls Ferry 
road is now owned by the heirs 
of James G. King. 

Lots Nos. 3 and 4. The Com- 
missioners of the loan office of 
Bergen County, Fide Act of the Legislature, passed May 26, 1786, sold these lots 
to Peter Zabriskie," executor of Jacob Zabriskie. March 4, 1791. Zabriskie con- 
veyed them to James Van Home March 12, 1792. They are now owned by the heirs 
of James G. King.

Lots N^os. 5, 6, 7, 8. Daniel Baldwin seems to have owned these lots. On an exe- 
cution against him, Peter Ward, sheriff", sold them to Jonas Ward March 25, 1788. 
Elijah Gardner afterwards owned at least part of them —probably purchased from 
Ward. Matthias Ludlam seems to have owned a considerable part of these lots, 
which he conveyed to David Deas Oct. 7, 1789, in trust for James Deas (who had 
married Susanna, daughter of Ludlam), for life, then to his children. By will, dated 
April 18, 1812, proved May 30, 1812, James Deas gave all his lands to his wife for 
life, then to his children equally. These heirs conveyed to James Brown 26 42-100 
acres July 31, 1852, and 19 acres to James G. King Jan. 10, 1853. This last tract 
seems to have been covered by a deed from Henry Ludlam to James Deas Aug. 8, 
1796; also by a deed from Francis Myerhoff to James Hanna June 22, 1808. Mr. 
King also purchased from the Deas heirs, Nov. 26, 1849, the strip lying between the 
top of the hill and the river. 

Lot Ilo. 9. On an execution against Eobert Neil, Peter Ward, sheinff", sold this 
lot to James Grier Jan. 1, 1790 ; who sold to Elijah Gardner March 26, 1801. He 
died seized. 

Lot No. 10 was sold by Haring to Aaron Wyman, who conveyed to Elijah Gardner 
Feb. 24, 1787. Of this lot and several others Gardner died seized in June, 1807, leaving 
his property to his three sons, James F., John and Thomas. The last two released 
to James F. July 4, 1827 ; who died in 1852, leaving Charles E., James, Robert, Elijah 
and two daughters. 

Lot No. 11 was sold by Haring to William Jackson May 10, 1784. Jackson died 
seized, and by will gave this lot and Lot No. 12 to his sons, Henry and John F. The 
latter conveyed his interest to Henry Dec. 23, 1815. He sold the two lots to John 
Zule May 1, 1819 ; who sold to William J. Cantello Nov. 29, 1827 ; who sold to 
Peter Kerrigan June 14, 1823 ; who conveyed to Cantello June 6, 1834 ; who con-

On the same day De Mott resold it to Abraham Huyler ; who sold it to Jacob S. 
Piatt Aug. 6, 1836. Of " Freemason's Island " Cornelius Huyler seems to have 
died seized, and it w^as then divided into lots and, I believe, distributed among his 
children. The 4^ acre lot was part of it. In this last deed was included 22 72-100 
acres including the dock at Bulls Ferry; also 5 45-100 acres of Mordanis Meadow

third to Charles Waldron ; who conveyed to Mitchell Aug. 29, 1838. 

* Van Vorst died seized Sept. 30, 1818. By his will he gave to his son John one- 
half of his property at Showhank and at Slonga, and to his grandson Cornelius the 
other half. These devisees partitioned by deed Oct. 26, 1821. John took 40 acres 
out of the E. part of the Slonga lot, and Cornelius received 27 18-100 acres. At 
the same time they also partitioned the property at Showhank, which included Lots 
Nos. 237, 238, and 239 (formerly of Kuyper). Cornelius received two lots ; one of 
upland = 51 43-100 acres, the other of upland and meadow = 13 83-100 acres. 
John received two lots ; one of upland = 51 43-100 acres, th(! other of upland and 
meadow (on which was the Showhank Mill) = 13 83-100 acres. This mill stood at 
the bottom of the ravine, a little N. of the Hoboken Road. It was destroyed by fire 
in 1835. Cornelius sold to John 33 83-100 aci-es at Showhank June 5, 1824. 

Of the E. end of this lot John died seized Jan. 30, 1832. The Commissioners in 
partition sold to Dudley S. Gregory, Oct. 30, 1843, the Slonga lot. Vide Note to Van

As by the same original Notice filed in the Office of the Clerk of the 
County of Bergen may appear — A true Copy of which said Notice was 
printed and published in two of the public News Papers commonly called 
the New York Gazette & Mercury, to wit, in the Gazette Numbers 294, 
295, 296, 297, 298, 299, 300, 301, 302, 303, 304, & 305, and m the 
Mercury Numbers 665, 666, 667, 668, 669, 670, 671, 672, 673, 674, 675, 
& 676, as by the same News Papers refference being thereto had may 
appear. Copies of which said Notice were also affixed on the Court 
House in Hackinsack and the Church in Bergen. 

And we the said five Commissioners having met pursuant to the said 
Notice and before ent'ring upon the Execution of the Business being 
joined by Jacob Spicer We the said six Commissioners with George 
Clinton one of our Surveyors (Jonathan Hampton the other Surveyor 
having been notified and not attending) did proceed to the Subdivision 
of the Common Lands which have been allotted to each respective 
Patent or Grant within the Bounds and Limits of the said Township of 
Bergen. 

And here we think it needful to observe — That inasmuch as the Field 
Work or Surveys of the Subdivision which are to be recorded in this 
<^CCOntr }^att of the Field Book cannot be laid down and represented 
on the Schedule or Map of the General Partition without rendering (in 
many Respects) the whole Map unintelligible. We have therefore found 
it necessary to annex (to the Schedule of the General Partition) two 
other Schedules protracted from a larger Scale for the Purpose of the 
Subdivision. Which three Schedules together, do form and make up the 
one U)i)Ole map. One of these Schedules of the Subdivision we have 
distinguished by the Title *< Sci}ttlUle ^,'* and the other by the Tide 
■125 " .SCljCTlUlt 15,'* And upon these * two Schedules we have laid down 
and represented the Surveys of the whole Subdivision. 

And We think it further necessary in Regard to these two Schedules 
of the Subdivision to observe once for all — That as each and every of the 



COMMON LANDS. 197 

Lots of Common Land which have been allotted to the respective Patents 
upon the General Partition are represented on the Schedule or Map of 
the said General Partition, and are there respectively distinguished by a 
particular Number, So we have laid down each and every of these Lots 
in their Order upon the two Schedules of the Subdivision and have there 
distinguished them by the very same Numbers as they are respectively 
distinguished on the said Schedule or Map of the General Partition ex- 
cepting a few small Lots of Common Land lying in and about the Town 
which may be seen in the Town Plot on the Map of the General 
Partition. 

And these Things being premised We proceeded in the Business of 
the Subdivision and that in the Order following, to wit,

allotted, To the Patent of Wiehaken granted by William Kieft

distinguished by the Number 247. 

Michael De Mott & George De Mott claimed the same Lot as

adjudge the said Allotment to belong to them the said Michael &

CHAPTER V. 

S E C A U C U S CO M M N S . 

The preceding Field Book disposes of all the Land in the 
old Township of Bergen, and settles th3 ownership of nearly all 
the Common Lands except the Tract allotted to the Patent of Se- 
caucus. This was not subdivided by the first commission and the rea- 
son therefor probably lay in the fact that many of the owners were 
non-residents who had, by inheritance, become owners of consider- 
able parts of this Patent, which Avere undivided. This confusion 
of ownership practically prevented an allotment, until finally the 
political troubles between England and the Colonies intervened. 
As soon as peace was re-established efforts were made to obtain a 
subdivision of the allotment. But for several reasons furtlier leg- 
islation was necessary to secure this object. Thereupon the Leg- 
islature of New Jersey enacted as follows : 

CHAP. XLVIII. 

A Supple7ne7itary act to an Act, intitled, An Act appointing Commission- 
ers for finally settling atid determining the several Rights, Titles and Claims 
to the Common Lands of the Township of Bergen, and for maki?ig Partition 
thereof in fust and equitable Proportions among those who shall be adfudgcd 
by the said Commissioners to be entitled to the same. 

Whereas an Act of the Legislature of New Jersey Avas passed in the 
Year One Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty-three, intitled, An Act 
appointing Commissioners for finally settling and determining the several 
Rights, Titles and Claims to the Common Lands of the Township ofPei'gen, 
and for making Partitioji thereof in fust and equitable Proportiotis among 
those who shall be adfudged by the said CommissioJiers to be entitled to the 
same, by which said Act Jacob Spicer, Charles Clinton, William Donald- 
son, Azariah Dunham, J'ohn Berrien, Samuel Willis and Abraham Clark, 
jun. Esquires, and the Majority of them, and the Survivors and Survivor 
of them, and the Majority of such Survivors, were appointed Commission- 
ers for making Partition of the Common Lands of the Township of 
Bergen aforesaid, according to the Directions of the said Act : And where- 
as the said Commissioners, or the Majority of them, in or about the Year 
One Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty-four, proceeded to execute the 
said Trust, and having first surveyed the Outlines of the said Township 
and the several Patents, and allotted them their respective Proportions of 
the common Land, made the Subdivisions thereof, and located to each 
and every Proprietor his and their respective Shares, according as the said 
Commissioners judged agreeably to Right, except in the single Instance 
herein particularly provided for : And whereas in making the Subdivisions 
aforesaid, a Patent was produced to them, called the Patent of Secaucus, 
dated the tenth Day o( December in the Year of Our Lord One Thousand 
Six Hundred and Sixty-three, granted by Peter Stuyvesant, the then Dutch 
Governor, to Nicholas Varlet and Nicholas Bayard, and confirmed to the 
said Varlet and Bayard by Governor Philip Carteret on the Thirteenth 
Day of October, in the Year of our Lord One Thousand Six Hundred and 



283 SECAUCUS COM ON 

Sixty-seven, to which Patent the Commissioners set apart a certain Lot 
of Land, called the common Lands allotted to. the Patent of Sccaiicus, in 
the Corporation of Bergefi, and which said Lot is distinguished by the 
said Commissioners' Field-Books and Maps of the General Division by 
the Number Two Hundred and Kighty-three ; Duplicates of both which 
said Books and Maps are said to be iiled as of Record in the Secretary's 
Office in Fert/i Amboy, and in the Clerk's Office in the County oi Bergen : 
And whereas a great Number of Persons did put in their Claims forthe 
said Common Lands, in considering of which Claims many Difficulties 
occurred, and the Commissioners then present being equally divided in 
Opinion, were prevented from finally determining to Avhom the said Lot 
of Land did belong, as appears by the Record thereof made by the said 
Commissioners in their said Books : And whereas all of the said Com- 
missioners appointed by the said Act, except two, are since deceased : 
And whereas many Difficulties and Inconveniencies have arisen in and 
about the Execution of the said Act, in the determining the Claims to the 
Lands allotted to the Patent of Secaucus, so that a total Obstruction is 
put to the Commissioners' further proceeding ; 

Sect. I. Be IT therefore enacted by the Conncil and General As- 
sembly of this H-tate, and it is hereby Enacted'by the Anthotity of the same, That 
Abraham Clark, Azariah Dunham, Silas Condict, J-ohn Carle, and Daniel 
Marsh, Esquires, shall be, and are hereby appointed Commissioners 
for settling and finally determining in whom the Right or Rights of 
the said common Lands allotted to the Patent of Secaucus is or ar-e 
vested ; and if it shall appear to the said Commissioners, or the major 
Part of them, that a Division or Subdivision of the said common Lands 
is necessary, then the said Commissioners shall proceed to make Division 
thereof, and shall cause two Field-Books and Maps to be made, specify- 
ing the Bounds of each and every Lot, and to whom allotted, which said 
Maps and Field-Books shall be signed by the said Commissioners, or the 
major Part of them, and their Surveyor or Surveyors : And if the Com- 
missioners shall be of Opinion that the Right of the said common Land 
isvestedin one Person, they shall certify the same under their Hands; and 
one of the Field-Books and one Map of the AUottment with its 
Subdivisions, if such Subdivision is found necessary, or Certificate, shall 
be filed of Record in the Secretary's Office ; and one other Field-Book, 
Map or Certificate, shall be filed in the Clerk's Office of the County of 
Bergen, to be kept and remain as Evidence, and shall be, and are hereby 
made conclusive Evidence of the Transactions of said Commissioners, and 
such Opinion of the said Commissioners shall be deemed good and valid 
in Law to establish the Right and Title of the Proprietor or Proprietors 
of the said common Lands. 

2. And be it further Enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That the 
Commissioners hereby appointed, before they enter on the Execution of 
any Part of the Trust reposed in them by this Act, shall severally take 
an Oath, and qualify in the same Manner and Form as the Commis- 
sioners named in the above recited Act were required to do ; and there- 
after they, and their Surveyors and Chain-Bearers, shall be vested with 
the same Powers and Privileges respecting the said Lot of common 
Land allotted to the said Patent of Secaucus, and be entitled to the same 
Reward for theii- Services, and subject to the same Restrictions and Reg- 
ulations, as the Commissioners appointed by the above recited Act, 
their Surveyors and Chain-Bearers were respectively entitled and subject 



SECAUCUS COMMONS. 287 

to, and the whole Expence which shall or may accrue by the Execution 
of this Act shall be paid and defrayed out of the Surplus or remaining 
Money appertaining to the Proprietors of the common Lands of the Cor- 
poration of the Township of Bergen, provided the same, or a sufficient

Thus empowered, the new Commission proceeded Avith the 
work of subdividing the Secaucus Commons. The following is a 
copy of their Field-Book and Map, showing the result of their 
work. Thej were filed as directed in the Act, but strange to say, 
no evidence appears on them of their having been filed in the 
office of the Secretary of State. As to how they came to be filed 
in the Hudson County Clerk's office the reader is referred to 
what was said on i)age 24. There is no doubt that this work is 
marked with the same care and accuracy which are so characteristic 
of the work of the first Commissioners.

to give a further time to produce the same did on the 26th day of February

lowing and thereupon Published in the New York Gazetteer Weekly, for

The other of which said Lots Marked No 23 begins at a stake

was a part of the " Frenchman's Garden." Concerning this garden I have met with 
the following poetic and somewhat sonoi-ous accounts. 

"In a wild and romantic situation on Bergen Creek, nearly opposite the City of 
New York, thirty acres of land were purcliased for a garden and fruitery by the un- 
fortunate Louis XVI., who as proprietor became a naturalized citizen, by act of the 
Legislature." Warden's History of the United States, il., 53. This .statement of War- 
den seems to have been based on a notice relating to tliis garden in the Xew Jersey 
Journal, June 27, 1787, in which il is said, "Part of this space is at present enclosing 
with a stone wall, and a universal collection of exotic, as well as domestic plants, 
trees and flowers are already begun to be introduced to this elegant spot, which in 
time must rival if not excel the most celebrated gardens of Europe. The situation is 
naturally wild and romantic, between two considerable rivers, in view of the main 
ocean, th^ city of New York, the heights of Staten Island, and a vast extent of 
distant mountains on the western side of the landscape." As "tall oaks from little 
ftcorns grow," so these exaggerated statements had their origin in the following simple 
fact. On March 3, 1786, Andre Michaux, in his petition to the Legislature of this 
State, set forth that the king of France had commissioned him as his Botanist to 
travel through the United States, that he had power to import from France any tree 
plant or vegetable that might be wanting in this country, that he wished to establish 
near Bergen a Botanical Garden ot about thirty acres, to experiment in agriculture 
and gardening, and which he intended to stock with French and American plants, as 
also plant* from all over the world. The Legislature granted his petition, and per- 
mitted him as an alien to hold not exceeding two hundred acres of land in this State, 

He came to this country fortified with a flattering letter of introduction, dated at 
Vienna, Sept, 3, 1785, from the Marquis de La Fayette to Washington. Correspond 
dence of the American Mevolution, iv., 116. He was attached to the Jardin des Plants 
in Paris. He brought with him the gardener, Paul Saunier, who took the title to the 
ground bought for the garden. The place was stocked with many plants and trees, 
among which was the Lombard poplar. From this garden this once celebrated tree 
was spread abroad through the country and pronounced an exotic of priceless valqe.

Hundred and Thirty nine Acres.

Portion of Commons was Legally Vested in the said Robert Leake 
at the time of his Decease 

Our Survey of which said Portion as laid down on the Map, 
shews, and U)0 adjudge it to be a Tract of Land Marked 
No 31 t 

*4o * Beginning at a Stake standing in the line of Northermost bounds of 
the Township of Bergen being the Eastermost Comer of a Lot of Land 
laid out to Garret, Isaac and George Van Gesons Numbered 29 and 
from said Stake running South Thirty one Degrees and thirty minutes 
West Forty Chains and Fifty links to a Lot laid out in the Division of 
the Commons of Bergen and Numbered in said Division 232, thence 
along the line thereof South Fifty four Degrees East Eleven Chains and 
sixty two links to the Eastermost Corner of said Lot, thence South Thirty 
five Degrees West, six Chains and ten links to a Stake being the North- 
erly Corner of a Lot of Land formerly laid out and Numbered 253, 

* Ogilvie's widow, Margaret, George Ogilvie, and Mary, wife of Barent Ogilvie, 
devisees of Eev. John Ogilvie, D.D., conveyed this lot to Kichard and John Earle 
July 1, 1788. Ogilvie was Assistant Minister of Trinity Church, New York, and 
died on Saturday, Nov. 23, 1774 He was stricken with apoplexy, Nov. 18tli, while in 
the pulpit, having just given out his text, Ps. xcii. 15. Robert Grunti owned the lot 
in 1793. 

t Leake's tnterest in Secaucus probably came through a deed to him from Andrew 
Teed, dated March 7, 1762. Vide Note to Varlct's Patent, p. 62. A tract which seems 
to answer to tiiis lot was sold by John George Leake to Aaron Devoe, by two deeds 
dated July 7, 1789, and Nov. 15, 1794. Leake also conveyed to John Stevens, March 
10, 1795, four hundred and twenty five acres in the Secaucus Commons, but where 
this tract lies I have not ascertained.

thence along the hne thereof South Fifty four Degrees East Twenty seven 
Chains and forty links to a Stake being the Easterly Corner of said Lot 
No 253, thence North Thirty five Degrees East Twenty four Chains and 
Eighty five Links to a Stake in a Swamp being the Northermost Corner 
of a Lot of Land formerly laid out and Numbered 219, thence vSouth 
Fifty four Degrees East Nineteen Chains and ninety Links to Mordainis 
Meadow, thence along the edge of said Meadow', where the same joins 
the upland till it comes to bear South Fifty Degrees and thirty minutes 
East from a Chesnut Tree standing upon a point of a narrow ridge of 
Land projecting towards the meadow which * Tree is the Place of Be- 4i 
ginning of the General Bounds of the Township of Bergen, thence North 
Fifty l3egrees and thirty minutes West Thirty five links to said Chesnut 
Tree, thence Continuing the same Course along the Line of the Northern 
Bounds of the Township of Bergen until it comes to the first mentioned 
Stake, the place of Beginning, Containing about One Hundred and 
Eighty nine Acres. 

IJ^aiJlttfl gone through the Division of the Common Land allotted 
to the Patent of Secaucus we think it proper as a greater Certainty to 
the Courses mentioned in the several surveys to give this information that 
the Magnetical Course with which all the lines are laid down and Run 
Varies from the true Course Three Degrees and forty minutes to the left 
Hand, so that a Meridian line North would be North Three Degrees and 
forty minutes East as the Magnet now Points. 

That since the time the Common Land of Bergen was Divided we 
find a Variation of the Compass of one Degree and Thirty minutes which 
will account for the Difference of the Courses now given along the former 
Lines from what the surveys of the former Division mention. 

* We think it proper also to remark that an attraction of the Needle *a2 
is found more or less in every part of the Commons of Secaucus except 
on the Meadow at a distance from the upland which will render Lines 
run by the Compass on the upland very uncertain. Our lines are mostly 
run by Courses taken on the Meadow and Parallels thereto made on the 
upland. 

Kn 212EitnCSS that this is one of the Field Books of the Division of 
the Common Lands allotted to the Patent of Secaucus made pursuant to 
a Law of the State of New Jersey hereinbefore recited, We together with 
the Surveyor have hereunto set our Hands this fifteenth day of June in 
the Year of our Lord One Thousand seven Hundred and Eighty five.

CHAPTER VL 



NEW FIELD BOOK. 



It is with great pleasure that I submit to tlie public Avhat I 
have named the New Field Book, and the Maps accompanying 
the same. They are six years younger than the old Field Book, 
and yet, I do not doubt, have been for years wholly anknown. 
Controversies concerning certain lands lying in the vicinity of 
Newark avenue between Mill Creek and the old Bergen road seem to 
have arisen, and the parties in the dispute submitted all questions 
of title and boundary to the award of Johannis Demarest, Albert 
Zabrowsky, of Hackensack, and John Haring of " Orange 
Town." The submission I have not seen ; the Survey and Maps 
(containing the award) were found in the possession of Dr John 
M. Cornelison. They are originals, in a good state of preservation, 
exact copies of which are here inserted. It may, I think, be taken 
for granted that they are the only ones in existence, and are now 
for the first time given to the inspection of the curious. They 
came to the present owner among the papers of Henry D. Van 
Winkle, owner of a portion of the land therein referred to. They 
throw much light on the title to the lands between the Five Corners 
and Mill Creek, and to Lots Nos. 355 and 389, the owners of 
Avhich the Commissioners of Common Lands did not declare. 

It is a matter of some curiosity to know how this Book and 
these Maps came into the possession of the Van Winkle family. 
In a deed, dated Dec. 20, 1774, given by the Van Idersteins (de- 
scendants of Tades Michielse) for some of the land included in the 
New Field Book, there is a reference to the same, and it is spoken 
of as " lodged in the hands of the Town Clerk." There is no mark 
upon either Book or Maps to show that they ever were filed. This 
recital, I presume, is conclusive that but one copy was made, and 
that it was considered public property. It is probable that Daniel 
Van Winkle, or some one of the family, was Town-clerk, and so 
came to the possession of the Book and Maps.

" This creek (if such it could be called) took its rise in a spring near the Beacon 
Race Course, and draining the surface between that point and the brow of the hill, 
passed down on the north side of Newark Avenue to.the Mill Creek. It took its name 
from the okl Tree yet standing on the top of the hill south of Prospect Avenue, known 
among the old people as the '■ oude boom" or old Tree. The bridge in Newark Avenue 
which spanned Mill Creek before it was filled in, was known as the " oude boom bridge." 
As a stream the " val " long since became insignificant. As the table lands above were 
improved and drainage attended to, the soil refused its tribute to the old creek, until 
final]}-, in the year of grace 1871, having nothing left but its mighty niwne, of which 
the present generation had not heard, and which they could not understand, it hid 
away in the sewer which is here constructed in Newark Avenue.

■"- Michielse's heirs, viz., Tadnus Johannis, Teunis, and Tadens Van Iderstein of 
New Barbadoes, sold this lot to Abraham Prior, Dec. 20, 1774. 

t This lot was the south part of Subdivision Xo. 350, adjoining the School Lot. 
The arbitrators declare that it was a dividend for the money paid by Helmigli Roelofse 
(Van H()uten>, hut do not adjudge to whom it belonged in 1770. Henry La Tonrette 
Cole owned it in 179L Peter Cole sold it to Joseph Simonson, May 11, 1797 ; who 
sold it to John Van Winkle, June 1, 1809; who sold it to John Priestly Peteis, June 
2.3, 1837; Peters sold it to Mortimer A. F. Harrison, April 19, 1811. This deed is 
lost and the record omits words of inheritance. It has since been sold in parcels to 
several persons. In 1870, Benj. Sisson bought the reversion of Peter's heir and 
brought an ejectment suit against the present occupants. The suit is now pending. 
The lot lies between the Court House property and Bergen Avenue. As to the Van 
Houten family, I have gathered the following : Hehnigh Eoelofse married Jannetje 
Pi( terse, Sept. 1676. The " Van Houten " was afterwards added as a family name. 
TToute or Houten, means wooden ; from Hout, wood. Iloelofse had ten children 
among whom was Johannis, born Oct. 28, 1693, married Helena, daughter of Johan- 
nis Vreeland, and died Dec. 18, 1763. This is the Van Houten named in the Field 
Book. He left one son, Johannis, baptized June 17, 1735,'married (1st) Altje, daughter 
of Hendrick Sic'des, (2nd) Rachel De Maree, and died Oct. 31, 1807, leaving Johan- 
nis, Sara, Helmiy, Catrintje and Aegie. Catrintje married Jacob Zabriskje, Dec. 12,

CHAPTER VII. 



NEW B A R B A D O E S NECK. 



Having passed in review the title of many tracts in the old 
Township of Bergen, it will not be out of place, though not as a 
part of the Field Book, to take a glance at that portion of ''New 
Barbadoes Neck " now comprising the townships of Harrison and 
Kearney. This neck was known among the Indians by the name 
of Jitighgecticock. It was estimated to contain five thousand three 
hundred and eight acres of upland and ten thousand ajcres of mead- 
ow. On the 4th of July, 16ti8, Captain William Sandfoi'd, of the 
Island of Barbadoes, purchased this tract from the Proprietors, on 
condition that he should settle thereon six or eight families or more 
within three years, and pay, in lieu of the half penny per acre quit 
rent, the yearly sura of £'20 sterling, on every 25th of March ; the 
first payment to be made March 25th, 1670. On the 20th of July, 
1GG8, he purchased the claim of the Indians to the same tract ; be- 
ginning at the mouth of the Ha(5keusack and Pissawack Rivers, 
then "to goe up Northward into the Countrey about seaven Miles 
till it comes to a certain Brook or Spring now called Sandford's 
Spring." The consideration paid was: ^'170 fathoms of Black 
Wampam, 200 fathoms White Wampem, 19 Match Coates, 16 
Guns, 60 double hands of powder. 10 pairs of Breetches, 60 Knives, 
67 Barrs of Lead, One Anker of Brandy, three half Fats of Beer, 
Eleven Blankets, ?0 Axes, 20 howes, and two Cookes of dozens."* 
This deed was signed by Tantaqua, Tamack, Anaren, Hanya- 
ham, H. Gosque, and Ws Kenarenawack, who represented the 
Indian claimants. 

Sanford's purchase seems to have been made in the interest of 
Major Nathaniel Kingsland, of the Parish of Christ Church in the Is- 
land of Barbadoes. On June 1, 1 6 7 1 , Kingsland conveyed to 
Sandford one-third of the whole tract, measuring from the junction 
of the rivers northward, for =£200. Kingsland having extinguish- 
ed the Indians' title, now took measures to perfect his omti. 

On the 26th of March, 1673, Peter Watson and Ralph Wyatt, 
residents in England, for a consideration of .£200 and '' one Indian 
arrow " yearly, purchased of Berkley and Carteret that portion of 
the same tract which lies between a point opposite Newark and

the Brook opposite Espatin, and immediately conveyed the same 
to William JSandtord in trust for Nathaniel Kingsland. This pur- 
chase extinguished the quit rent. It was confirmed by another 
deed dated May 21, 1673. 

On the recapture of the country by the Dutch they seized 
upon Kingsland's interest in this tract, and on Oct. 1, 1678, order- 
ed it to be sold. It was sold at public auction and a deed given, 
of which the following is a copy : 

"Anthony Colve General of New Netherland, High Mightnesses the

On the restoration of the country to the English, Kingsland 
came again into the possession of his plantation. By his will, 
dated March 14, 1685, he gave one-third of his lands in New 
Jersey — about three thousand four hundred and two acres — to his 
nephew, Isaac Kingsland, the other two-thirds to his children, 
John, Sathaniel, IsaOeUa, wife of Jlenry Harding; Caroline, wife 
of John Barrow, jr. ; Mary, wife of William Walley ; and Esther, 
wife of Henry Applethwaite. By Isaac Kingsland's "wdll, dated 
Jan 1, 1G97-8, Edmund, his eldest son, received one- third of his 
plantation — about eleven hmidred and thirty four acres. A part 
of this tract was sold by Edmund Kingsland to Arent Schuyler 
April I'O, 1710, for ^'330. By will, dated July L'9, 1741, proved 
July 26, 1 742, Kingsland gave to his son William three hundred 
acres next adjoining Schuyler ; also one-third of the meadow and 
one-third of the cedar swamp. His son, Edmund Roger, received 
the remainder of his realty. This latter devise was burdened Avith 
the payment of certain legacies, and in case they were not paid 
within one year, then the property devised to Edmund R. should 
go to his son Isaac, with the same burdens. The devisee refused 
to accept, and on Sept. 10, 1743, Isaac accepted the devise, and, 
by his will dated March 5, 1776, proved Aug. 23, 1783, gave to 
his son Abraiiam one-half of all his lands, and divided the remain- 
der among his other children, Isaac, Joseph, Charles^ Aaron, 
Sarah, and Rachel. 

John Kingsland, by will dated Aug. 18, 1763, proved Aug. 10, 
1768, gave the north half of his lands to his son Richard. The 
other half w^as divided among his children, Elizabeth, Hester, wife 
of Peter Butler ; Edmund, and grandson John, son of Isaac. 

Sandford settled at East Newark, where, in a short time, must 
have been erected a number of buildings. In 1680 his place was 
known as '^ Santforf, an English village opposite 3Iilfort," now 
Newark. — Long Island Hist. Soc, i, 266. He left all of his 
property to his wife Sarah. By her will, dated June 8, 1708, 
proved June 25, 1719, she gave to her daughter Catharine, wife 
of Johannis Van Imburgh, three hundred acres of woodland and 
one hundred acres of meadow ; and to Elizabeth, wife of James 



328 NEW BARBADOES NECK. 

Davis, three hundred acres of land. To her son, William, she 
gave the farm of three hundred acres, with the meadow, for life, 
then to his son William in fee. He also received the residue of 
her lands. V>y will, dated Feb. 24, 1732, proved April IG, 1733, 
William Sandford, 2d, gave to his son Richard one-half of the 
Cedar Swamp, and the other half to his daughters, Frances, Jennie, 
and Anne. 

By will, dated Feb. 22, 1749, proved April 7, 1750, William 
Sandford, 3d, gave to his only son, William, all his lands, con- 
sisting of three hundred aci'cs, and one hundred and fifty acres of 
meadow. This was the farm mentioned in his grandmother's will, 
and in all probability lay where East Newark now is. 

Peregrine Sandford (son of William, 2d), by will dated Nov. 6, 
1740, proved June 14, 1750, gave his lands to his children, Enoch, 
William, Jane, Aghie, and Elizahtth. 

A part of the Sandford tract, which I take to be the farm and 
meadow named in Sarah Sandford's will, was purchased by Col. 
Peter Schuyler, and thenceforth called Petersborough. By his 
will, dated March 21, 1761, proved May 2^, 1762, Schuyler gave 
it to his only child Catharine, wife of Archibald Kennedy, Earl of 
Casselis. Kennedy and wife conveyed to James Duane, June 13, 
1765, the farm on New Barbadoes Neck (Petersborough) ; also two 
tracts near Secaucus, between the line of the Bergen lots and Pin- 
horne's Creek and Cromkill, also Col. Schu^der's interest in the 
commons (?) in trust for themselves. Duane reconveyed to them 
and to the survivor June 15, 1765. The earl outlived his wife, 
and, by v\ill dated Jan. 19, 1794, left his property in America to 
his sons, John and Robert. I do not know how the interest > ;' 
John passed to Eobert, but in 1803 he sold the tract where East 
Newark now is, to William Halsey. It was then a part of what 
was known as "Kennedy's Farm." In 1804, the name was 
changed to '^ Lodi." Halsey laid out a part of his purchase into 
ninety building plots, of at least one acre each. 

Arent Schuyler, by will dated Dec. 17, 1724, proved July 6, 
1732, gave his lands on New Barbadoes Neck to his son JohPf 
who left them to his son Arcnt, from whom they have descended 
to his grandchildren, Arent, Jacob R., etc.
